Rubber
I have a question about manufacturing rubber. I want to know if there is any way to form, mold, or whatever has to be done in order to make things out of rubber and what would be involved. Can rubber be melted and reformed?
I know that this is probably not a question for most people. If there is anyone that can give me some more insight, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Rubber has to be cured once its molded in design. This curing process basically makes the rubber unable to reuse. There ar eprocess to reclaim rubber but not all and its still not the same.

What tangible ingredients could be bought to do this myself and how would I do so?

It has to be continuous, strong like a belt you might find in a dryer, and flexible.
