CUTTING AND FITTING GASKETS

摘要

Jointing material in sheets permits the cutting of various types of washers and gaskets which are unobtainable or not to hand when required. Not so many years ago, in fact, it was common practice to do this, except in the case of car cylinder head joints. Nowadays, there are gasket sets, but they do not necessarily contain all joints, and on occasion it is necessary to cut one's own. Ordinary thick note paper or brown paper is suitable in many instances, apart from the available special materials - toughened papers, fibre and cork sheeting etc.
