Tech cork (rubco/gummi-kork/etc.) is available here in various thicknesses - I'd recommend 0.3 or 0.4mm for oboes: http://www.musicmedic.com/catalog/products/cork-200.html
No good for tenon corks - you're best using natural cork for tenons over anything else on the market.
When using it on sliding linkages (eg. the Ab-Bb linkage arm), coat it with graphite from a soft pencil once it's glued in place, or stick a piece of thin self-adhesive teflon sheet onto it to make it slide better.
