Title: Buy premade gaskets
Post by: mxrixs on Sun, 17 January 2021, 06:09:15

Is there anywhere where I can buy gaskets to use for a custom build?
Replacements are also possbile if specifications exist

Thanks a lot!  :thumb:

As like what you said custom, by it's very definition it tailored. Now as for gasket you have to custom make them yourself.
It is possible to buy gasket sheets off amazon or elsewhere then just cut to what size you need.  :thumb:

If you have a look for some laser cutting services in your area they may be able to do gaskets. Neoprene gaskets are generally a good go to but if you are not sure ask them for a hard one. Should be fairly cheap you could even try different plastics as some have more give/allow for more compression compared to others.
