With a little patience you can make Valve Cover Gaskets, Carburetor Gaskets, Exhaust Manifold Gaskets, Thermostat Housing Gaskets, Timing Cover Gaskets, Oil Pan Gaskets, Transmission Gaskets, for your Tractor, Car, Truck, or Lawn Mower.

Gaskets are all over the kitchen. Cereal boxes. I prefer lucky charms boxes to give me luck that it won’t blow up. Mac and cheese boxes. Kraft boxes only though. the cheap stuff leaves an aftertaste the engine won’t like, and it’ll blow up. Heck, I’ve even used the oladys empty maxi pad boxes when stopping leaks is of utmost importance.

Half gallon cardboard milk cartons worked great for waterpump and thermostat housings. I recall back in the day using the name brand Indian Head shellac gasket sealer on both sides, and then tightened to torque specs. After a day of drying, once the engine heated up to operating temperature, that shellac would become real hard. I ran gaskets for years without them failing like that. I gave that method up for the silicone/rubber Make a Gasket In a Can they use to sell at O'rileys. I got great results with that product and it was so much quicker and easier to use.

For joining aircraft engine crankcase halves we used silk thread and red RTV, we had to hurry and run through the torque sequence, none of the engines ever leaked. This was back in the 1980's when I attended aeronautics school, we all thought the engines would leak.

Rolls Royce motor cars used to assemble their car engines with it. Red hermetite compound was another but to me looked amateurish

I've been doing her the wrong all these years! (That's what she said!) Your method is so much easier AND more precise. I've been using that gasket maker-dark brown stuff for many years, in fact, I've got a tube that's probably 20+ years or so old and it still isn't dried out. But it is messy!!! Thanks for the vid!

Love it great idea but will work mainly on the smaller gaskets never the less will give it a try, next time change your T-shirt that says genuine parts and here you are making your own stuff LOL

that no 2 ( ok beavis and butthead ) tar should be perfect for the vapor barrier on a car door. I've wondered what the hell the proper stuff was. I'm sure gonna try it.

The proper stuff you are looking for is butyl rubber rope/tape.

I'm amazed at how gasket material is sold and no one, not even Fel-Pro, advertises what temperature they are good for. It's crazy. I need to make an intake gasket that will be safe for over 400 F and you can't find that information.

Wow that's really helpful. I wish I learned this earlier. Just blown 60$ for a set of gaskets that does not fit actually. Is there a way to pull something similar for rubber o ring type gaskets?

I used to use conflakes packets for base gaskets, always worked fine :-D. I tryed a few types of gasket cement, the blue hylomar (used by rolls royce apparently) was crap, too thin, not enough substance to it. Red hylomar was pretty good,. But the best and this makes no sense is a really cheap stuff called "Gasket Goo", the tubes were hung up on a big card in the shop, the tubes always seem to leak red goo slightly, so they did look crappy. That was years ago, god knows who made it.

Hylomar. I've heard of this stuff, but have never tried it.
