I used to keep three different thicknesses of 18" wide rolls of gasket paper hanging on the wall of the tool room in my school shop. Trace the shape of the flange you need to seal, and use an X-acto knife or a box cutter to cut the outline of the part. Hint- - - -use a piece of plywood as a backer. Cutting gaskets out on Mama's kitcken cabinet top will get you in the doghouse in a hurry - - - -don't ask me how I know! Jerry
