[Rhodes22-list] Gasket material

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

The gasket is one piece. The two flanges need to be smooth and flat to  
receive the gasket and not leak. Just because you found your boat had something 
 done by a previous owner, does not mean that it is the accepted and tried 
and  true method to repair something. Owners have a history of doing bad 
things to  their boats. Asking questions of this list will get most of your 
questions  answered with the correct method and materials to use. I've been 
hanging around  for twenty years and my rum soaked brain has absorbed a lot of 
information. Of  course a lot has also escaped. :)
This list is important for the continued use and satisfaction of Rhodes  
owners.

Is it  possible (required?) that the gasket have no gaps? ie it needs to be 
 a
piece that is long and wide enough to be able to cut out the complete  form
in one piece?

It also sounds like if the flange and top are not  smooth enough or strong
enough they should be built up with glass before  putting back together,
right?
