    I cut mine from 0.040" thick PVC shower pan liner from Lowes.

    Is .040 too thin? What kind of performance do you get?

    I got 0.125" form Gainger highemp silicon A bit pricey though. Im looking for a cheaper opption also.

    I was looking at the 3/16" neoprene for spacers. The cost is cheaper but I don't know about compatability issues.

    I've used neoprene for months with no compatabilaty issues stemming from exposure to KOH(potassium hydroxide) whatsoever.

    I got them from a local gasket company in Tampa Fl. They cut them to my specs cheaper than me with a razor knife(they keep the scraps).

    When looking at neoprene it is rated by a durometer scale(hardness). Do you know what your neoprene was rated. I think if its to hard it won't seal. If it's to soft it won't hold it's shape.

    I've been using the gaskets with my Lowes based dry cell design. I've gotten 2.33 LPM from 25 plates (5N) at approx 5.4 MMW.

    Rubber inner tubes are 0.050" and they are free.

    Truck tire stores have them.

    No leaks.

    I don't know what size you're looking for here. I have mine made by a local gasket & rubber company. I had to pay $100.00 for each die size. Now, I just pick up the phone and order a bunch. UPS gets them here in a day or two.
    I have several hundred on hand, right now. My size closed WFC is 5" x 13" - outside by 4" x 12" inside Material - BunaN or Neo

    My meduim size WFC measures 5" x 9" outside by 4" x 8" inside

    Let me know at: randy@hhydrogas.com

    Cost? Depends on how many you want and how many I have in inventory.
