Biothane is the best material to use in your tack if you have a rubbing
problem. The nosepiece of a hackamore can be made of biothane and you
can use the "rubber donuts"(aka cheekpieces on each side of a bit) to
protect the lower jaw from contact with the metal. Teddy Lancaster makes
a biothane nosepiece (RUN4BEAR@aol.com).

Sometimes I rub a little vaseline around the trouble spots (not for CTR's
of course--probably "not allowed").
