Creating gaskets

Problem: How can I get a replacement gasket when the storeroom is bare?

Solution: Create your own. Place blank gasket material over the face of the surface needing a replacement. Lightly tap on the inside and outside edges with a ball-peen hammer. Holding the gasket material very still while tapping produces a surprisingly accurate cut.
