![]() 226 forum posts 45 photos | I'm sure I have seen mention here on the possible use of the 'Lakeland' oven liner sheet as a gasket material - but I can't find the posting. It would appear to be a good material with which to cut intricate gasket shapes and use with a 'mere smear' of sealant Has anyone experience of using it for steam engine gaskets? Tony |

526 forum posts 45 photos | I asked the question about sourcing teflon sheet for gaskets and one answer was to use oven liner. https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=167211 Haven't tried it because I still have enough teflon sheet for my present project. I don't know the thickness, but I would have thought that oven liner would be a bit too thick for small engine gaskets. My teflon sheet is 0.006 thou thick (as close as I can measure it).
