making gaskets

[Johnno]

Just a quickie re gasket paper.If you lay the paper over the part and gently tap around the edges with a small ballpein hammer you will get a perfect fit everytime.It must be a small hammer and go easy with the tapping or you will bruise the metal.All the best,John.P.s. its an especially good method for stud holes.

In addition, placing a bigggish ball bearing where the stud hole will be and tapping that with the hammer creates a neat groove for cutting in one go.

I find that just pressing the areas with your fingers (firmly) gives enough of an impression for cutting out...
