Maverik Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Sick of buying rubbish cardboard gaskets, so going to invest in some gasket material. There are loads of suppliers on fleebay etc. Does anyone have any preference/recommendations for day to day gasket material?

Bowie69 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Depending on application, I find this very good: http://www.toolshopdirect.co.uk/item.php/sn/WYN57680 Otherwise I have two packets of gasket material I bought from a motor factors about 5 years ago, varying thicknesses, for next to nothing, but are still card-like, they work fine for me.

integerspin Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 what sort of material? If your after paper look on the RS site, I think post is free, your looking for Statite or similar. If you want a thicker material that doesn't ever seem to leak, look at something like Klinger C4400, costs a lot though. Look up gasket makers and see if theres one near you, I had several near me and they chuck away loads of gasket material. I bought a few metres of statite from one place and it cost 30p a meter! but all the Econsto and Klinger stuff I got just came from their scrap.
