    I bought a roll of gasket material and have made several out of it. I still have some left inside an old paper towel cardboard roll.

    Quick, someone teach me how to fish so I can win this tournament!!!

    We make gaskets at our shop quite often. We keep a sheet or two of gasket material on hand. I have learned that keeping an assortment of brass ammo casings on hand works great for making the bolt holes without having to buy a special punch set.
