Gaskets can sometimes be hard to source. I fixed my riding lawn mower several years ago by making my own gasket from a bicycle innertube. It was a carburetor gasket that time. I don't expect it to fail any time soon either. This WochiTV Solid Rubber Sheets checks all the boxes. The trick is to get a template of the gasket you need. I traced the outline on a sheet of paper. Then cut. It will cut with scissors, but I found that the easiest way to cut this is with a sharp utility knife.
I used this to fix a failed gasket on my boiler's circulation pump. It has a small leak that probably could have been fixed with silicone, but I wanted a more permanent fix. Unfortunately, the old gasket fell apart as I was removing it. Otherwise, that would have been the perfect template. The last picture shows my finished gasket. I did make some more cuts to make it fit better. The boiler system operates at 180 degrees Fahrenheit and varies from 12 to 20 pounds of pressure. I don't think this homemade gasket will fail for years, if at all.
I got the 1/8" thick gasket material but could have used the 1/16" just as well. The rubber does have some 'give' to it so when I tightened down the bolts, it compressed nicely. Sort of what you want a gasket to do. This helps provide a nice tight, leak resistant seal. I wouldn't be reluctant to use this on a more demanding project.
The material appears to be well made and sturdy. It wants to hold the shape of the roll it is shipped in, but with some work I was able to flatten it out. Great product to have on hand for the occasion when stores are closed, or you can't find the right gasket. I assume this material can be used for many other things. I have enough left over when I do find another use. Great product. Great price.
