Recommendations - Gasket glue (gluing gasket material together)

[hacskaroly]

I need to make a gasket 1/8" thick (Reed Plate Insulator on a McCulloch 200). I don't have anything that thick on hand and so would like to glue together (permanently) three thinner pieces of gasket material to make the total 1/8" thickness. Which glues have you used that worked well in this application?

I'm not aware of any "gasket glue" specific product out there. I would just buy 1/8" gasket material like this...won't let me post the link. Just Google 1/8" gasket material.

Or if your dead set on the stacking method try a thin coating of yamabond.

I was trying to do this without having to buy any 1/8" if I can help it. I have a heap of thinner gasket material I got for Christmas and can cut exact matches with my wife's Cricut, so I thought I would give it a try gluing them together and see how it goes. Thanks for the idea of using Yamabond, I will check it out!

I just remembered that it seems like a few years back I found toctite thread locked but it came in the form of a glue stick. It was identical to the glue sticks my kids had to take for school supplies and except it was blue loc tite paste. Might look into that.
Of course by the time you go buy the glue stick or Yama Bond it would have been the same price and a lot easier to just buy the $10 sheet or 1/8" gasket paper I guess.

I would use Pliobond, basically rubber cement but in theory if compatible with fuel.

Do you own Google search, you may find a better deal. I have a small glass bottle (3 ounce) that may be 4 or 5 years old by now and still works fine, maybe 40% remaining in the bottle.

I used it yesterday to stick the gaskets on a carburetor before installing it on a Jonsereds 521, I have done the same on McCulloch 10 Series saws to keep the gaskets, insulators, and spacers in place while assembling a saw.

That would be very helpful. I think my carb gasket on my 2100 slipped when I was installing it and it moved just enough to block the impulse hole.
