Cork is a one time deal, seals pretty good, but cork dries out and shrinks,
becomes hard, looses seal and eventually leaks. Must re-tightened often to
prevent leaks.
Rubber can be used more than once, does not shrink, doesn't harden as fast
as cork, lasts a lot longer. One problem with rubber is it slides real
easy on oily/greasy surfaces, gasket tends to want to pouch out as it is
clamped down.
