Thought I'd post this for guys wanting a source for gasket material.

You can get the same stuff at Napa for cheaper.

Oh... Okay. Found it online, thought I'd share. :blush:

I'm with you, it's just that at Napa there's no shipping and handling. Actually Schmuck's has an excellent 'assortment' pack that has five different grades of gasket material. I've used up several sets of those in the last five years in the course of many vintage saw restorations. An assortment pack of their gasket material and a tube of that Super Copper liquid gasket is pretty much all a guy needs. Although if you split the cases or tanks on a lot of old saws, that 'high tack' is pretty handy for sealing those.

I like THIS one real well too. I did a thread around here somewhere on makeing base gaskets using it.

That copper spray-a-gasket is fantastic stuff.

This seems like it would work good on most parts of the saw... Heat, oil, and fuel resistant.

I've seen both of those at the parts store... Never tried them. Guess I'll have to give them a go.

what about making gaskets to go between case halves? just use silicone?

Use Victor gasket materials, none better in my opinion, its all they make.
