A mate of mine uses old fashioned bicycle valve rubber for this - it's not so easy to find these days but last time he needed some I eventually struck lucky in a back street cycle repair shop in Leicester and bought their last half metre....I lost count of the number of cycle shops I'd been in before I found it.
The proprietor wasn't unduly surprised when I said it wasn't for use on cycle valves as he sometimes gets anglers buying it and the last lot he'd sold was for 'summat to do with hedgehogs' The mind boggles!!
