Rubco is rubberised cork (gasket cork) - also called tech-cork or Gummi-kork which is very hard wearing and excellent for use under adjusting screw tips as they won't chew through it as they ill with natural cork. MusicMedic sells it in various thicknesses.

For use on sliding linkages it helps to coat it in graphite from a soft pencil once glued on to reduce drag. You can also stick self adhesive Teflon sheet to it which is beneficial for the F/C key sliding linkage on 1010s that's raised by the F#/C# key to make it work smoothly.
