A lot of places online. Call makers, suppliers. Try contacting your call maker. I do not currently offer any, but they might. Otherwise try http://www.hutproducts.com

Fred Zink started the rubber trend I believe, and he swears by them. Echo uses rubber in their replacement packages of reeds and corks, but corks in their original setup.

Unless you know someone who makes/tunes calls, it's virtually impossible to find the cork already cut to the thickness and size needed for a particular duck call. I'm not sure how every call manufacturer buys/orders their cork but from what I saw while working in the industry, it's either bought already cut by an outside source or it's bought by the pallet load and then cut to size in house.

Go to any auto parts store, and get a McCord cork gasket in whatever thickness you need (they make a lot). Just take your call in with you and check. One gasket will hook you up for a LOT of corks. I won't "out" the call maker who 'fessed up to this one.....

Bank if Jim is blowing a Black Olt what does that tell ya. Over the last few years of hunting in Arkansas my friends over there with out a doubt showed me that there is not a call on this planet that can out kill a cut down blck D-2 Olt. After buying 20 or so off of ebay this summer, I came out with three that are cut down to my style of calling. For anyone who has not blown one they are bad to the f'n bone. It gives off the most solid sound you can imagine. Its not a thin sound like the main street models.

Fresh cork usually does it.
