Hi, yesterday, my brother bought a piece of neophrene in a diver dressing shop. But this piece has cloth on both sides of neoprhene. Is composed by 1 mm grey cloth + 6 mm neophrene + 1 mm black cloth.
There is any problem in using it for floating floors?? Does that cloth disturb?
look at the pic:

The cloth shouldn't be a problem; what is likely wrong with using that is thickness and hardness. 6mm is only about 1/3 to 1/4 the thickness you need, and the neoprene normally used for dive suits is SOFT, more of a neoprene FOAM - the neoprene for floated floors should be 60 durometer hardness, where the stuff for dive suits is probably around 10-20 duro at most...

You should be able to cut strips of it and use 3 or 4 strips each side of your window glass for seals; but you will need the RIGHT stuff for the rubber the glass actually RESTS on, or it will sag too much.

On that page, the number next to "shore" is the same as durometer; if you intend to use you facility longer than about 8-10 years, I would use the EPDM material at 68 shore.
You will have to go through the tests I outline here
http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=6226
in order to come close to proper loading.
If you need them, I have weights of several materials - or you could ask your sources, just in case they are different materials... Steve
