Anyone using rubber gaskets?

My Proto should be arriving sometime this week, and planning on slapping on my older 09' Burton Customs on it. They scratched up my jib board pretty bad, I was wondering if some thin rubber would prevent this, and maybe dampen a bit. Thoughts and ideas on where I could buy this?

when I took my Burton YO!s off my Evo I was a bit... upset haha but then I thought it's a snowboard it'll get banged up, you can't even see it when the bindings are on... but i feel for you. Do you think putting anything between the binding and board would make it less responsive?

Snowboard professor has a video on setting up a snowboard and he shows the use of red plumbing gasket you get at the hardware store. He shows the big sheets, my local hardware home depot only had much smaller sheets.

I only used them until I got my stance setup. Plus I always think it helps with resale value and I always ending up selling gear that's just who I am when I can't ride, I lust over gear.

But once my stance was set I ripped them out. They worked and I didn't even know they were there. But when I went to take my bindings off to wax they fell off and I left them off.

I got a package of that black rubber grip drawer /shelf liner that I trimmed to fit under bindings that don't have already have the rubber bottom. Keeps the board surface nice, keeps the bindings in place; may help with the screw tight situation (can't confirm or deny; and adds an extra layer of dampening. Works really well. I think a roll was like 6.00 - 7.00 @ Home Depot.
