What I need is rubber 1/4" tubing with no holes (a long cylinder).Any ideas where to get a solid 1/4" round rubber tubular gasket about 2 or 3 feet long?
Still trying: Where can I get 1/4" solid rubber tubing (no holes)?

look instead for rubber ROD

Tubing has a hole in the center.
If there's no hole, it's a rod, or something other than a tube.
Make up your mind.

It appears you wanr solid rubber spline or backing rod, not tubing - as tubing, by definition, is hollow and open at both ends.
I believe backer rod is what you are looking for - it is availavle in open cell, closed cell, soft and firm, among other variants. Check the Borg.

Nine different materials available.
Check with McMaster Carr . Look at their O-ring section. Yoy can get a length as long as you want.
AutoZone, O'Rielly's, Pepboys... any automotive outlet has air lines, gas/fuel lines, etc., ..... thick walled rubber hoses with as little as 1/8" hole in the tubing.

Interesting. I've been looking all wrong.
I found pull through plugs (which might work):

And, I found tapered plugs:

So now I'm looking through the possibilities.
