[AJD] Gaskets

[John Paur]

Dee answered this nicely.  I would just add that if there are places where
you can't reach with the ball pein hammer, hold the gasket material in place
and rub on the outside of it.  That will leave  mark on the material and you
can then cut it out with a sissor or blade,  John
