I made a minor modification to mine that helps. I removed the lever that
tightens the adjustable width slot and replaced it with a thin piece of
clear plastic that covers the slot. I lock it in place with a small allen
head screw. I probably need to take a picture which is easier than
describing it.

I stopped measuring the thickness of my rubber years ago, but with this
modification I seem to get a pretty consistent weight per length.
