Okay with the way things look, I'm about to dominate this forum for a bit with new topics, so I'm going to be surprised if Mods don't end up getting upset. But the new topic of the day... Rubber. Yes, my topics are so very exciting on this forum. Specifically, I want to know everything there is to know about Rubber around the medieval era or with medical technology. How is it made, where do we get it or what we use to make it, how hard is the process, manpower-wise, how long does it take, how easy is it to make it into stuff like clothes or anything really, is it a renewable or non-renewable resource, etc. I know rubber was used in places with low technological advancement, so it was a thing, but other than that I've had a difficult time gleaning anything else. Also, are there any rubber-equivalents that can work in that era, and by rubber equivalent, I mean an insulator.
