Malcolm,

You sure have a talent for finding "moon rocks" ;-)

Does look like interesting material.

A while ago I had some samples of Auxetic foam gasket material that I used on a pumping system. It is peculiar stuff in that if you stretch it it grows in diameter and if you squash it, when using it as a gasket, it expands to fill all the voids. Clamped between the band and the transfer sheet it would ensure even pressure distribution.

See:

I can't remember who made it but it was reasonably priced.

An alternative would be to use a rubber gasket material.
