Reply:Duane is correct. Why pay $10 for a gasket when you can make one in 5 minutes? Gasket paper from the parts store. I usually coat the gasket surface of the part that I need the gasket for with either plain old chalk, or machinist's blue, then press the part against the gasket paper to make the ouline and whittle it out with fine scissors or an X-acto.Miller Syncrowave 350Millermatic 252/ 30A spoolgunMiller Bobcat 225g w/ 3545 spoolgunLincoln PowerArc4000Lincoln 175 Mig Lincoln 135 Mig Everlast 250EX TigCentury ac/dc 230 amp stickVictor O/AHypertherm 1000 plasma
Reply:Oh, also if you rub some grease into both sides of the new gasket before you install it, (don't leave gobs of grease on it, just rub it in thoroughly) you will likely be able to re-use it 5 years from now, plus the grease makes the gasket material absolutely leak-proof. Sometimes I think we get too caught up in all the new fangled coatings etc, when the old ways still work just fine.Miller Syncrowave 350Millermatic 252/ 30A spoolgunMiller Bobcat 225g w/ 3545 spoolgunLincoln PowerArc4000Lincoln 175 Mig Lincoln 135 Mig Everlast 250EX TigCentury ac/dc 230 amp stickVictor O/AHypertherm 1000 plasma |
