U.S. Rubber
Naugatuck, Connecticut
US Rubber was the source of resin for the early glass experiments of the Tomhawk Boat Co.
When Carter Craft ventured into fiberglass-hulls, U.S. Rubber supplied a special five-ply laminate material made of a "foam-plastic-rubber core", hard plastic-rubber outer layers, and a rubber skin.
