Reply To: RTV exhaust gasket sealer

[green-thumbs]

I attempted to make gaskets from dried out brittle FelPro Karropak gasket material . Without success. until I soaked it in warm/hot water. The damp gasket material became soft, pliable and easy to work with. Probably a very old school technique
but, it was new to me.
May be worth trying with factory gaskets that have become stiff and brittle due to
long storage.
Karropak is a vegetable fiber material, some older factory gaskets are made of similar
material and may respond well to a short soak. Gaskets will dry out again overnight
so I had to soak them again to install and do final trim
