Make your own silicone gasket 

Beautiful work! I’m making a much smaller gasket but the technique will transfer perfectly. The only source of the gasket I need that I can find wants about $50 CAD before taxes and shipping. Going into this I thought I might be spending more like $5… So this seems like a good skill to build.

If making a food grade gasket, use beeswax not candle wax.

I'm trying to make a gasket for a tactix storage box to use as a vacuum box to store 3d filament which is hygroscopic. Normally I have success using cling wrap on the box then expanding foam in the lid and lock it down. It's not working so I decided to try silicone using vasoline as a separating agent on the box. I didn't leave it long enough to cure (needs more than 3 days due to depth of cure apparently! Big mess and I suspect I'll be needing to rip it out. I've learned a lot from your video in terms of ideas - thanks :).

Thank you.

Well done 👍👍👍

This helps allot. Thanks

what a great idea! i needed a gasket for my espresso machine, which no silicon gasket is available. this will be a fun DIY.

nice video thanks

great work

How did you adhere it to the lid?

The Amazon link is broken. What is the make and model of the silicone? Or could you post a New link? Thanks

I don’t see the link for the silicone?

have you ever tried the 650 degree rtv silicone??

your product link is no longer active :( ... * can you put of your silicone, * or show a the label, * or update the link? Merci!

How about a follow-up on the gasket> Cheers

That funny you trust the FDA it's probably fine but that's a bad assumption
