In the 1890's, a professor of chemistry at Amherst College discovered that certain paper, when impregnated with a solution of glue and glycerin, was transformed into a crackle parchment-like material that was waterproof, oilproof and greaseproof. Because of it's parchment-like quality, the material was called "Vellumoid" (meaning "like vellum or parchment"). Since our humble beginnings, Vellumoid Incorporated has become a major producer of gaskets for automobiles, trucks, and miscellaneous sealing applications. [Reply]   [No Email]

Or just silicone it like old F20 does [Reply]  [No Email]

Fleet Farm no longer carries it around here, and TSC carries a little roll - but it is quite small. My husband used to get much larger/wider rolls of the stuff. Thanks. [Reply]  [No Email]

Fleet Farm no longer carries it around here, and TSC carries a little roll - but it is quite small. My husband used to get much larger/wider rolls of the stuff. Thanks. Orschlens, TSC, And Shoppers Supply all carry it here. Arnold Motors and NAPA too. Never asked at Oreilly's but they probably have it. I have better luck with bigger sheets from Arnold Motor Supply. None of them were big enough to make gaskets for the final drive cases on my 30 so I just made them in strips and sealed it with Aviation form-a-gasket. Just looked up Fel Pro gasket material at O'reilly's they have sheets 36" wide and rolls up to 50 yards. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/search/Gasket+Material/N0488/C0137.oap?page=1&results=20&sortBy=1 This post was edited by 36F30 at 09:45:08 01/27/13.

Our TSC only had a small narrow roll and they said that is all they carry anymore. And yes, it is too narrow for some applications. Thanks again. [Reply]  [No Email]
