    Cheap Gaskets

    I am looking about the gaskets About PVC and EPDM. I think that PVC is the best choice.
    Because it is difficult to find the size you want and it is expencive I prefer to buy PVC paper to cut it.
    Would you mind where I can find this?Maybe any brand? I saw shower pan liner that does work fine..what is your opinion?

    I made my gaskets with PVC shower pan liner, and it works well untill the first time you take your unit apart. Then the gaskets dry out and wrinkle up from heat and chemical reaction (delayed) that could not take place when they were under compression in the unit. Use EPDM, much better.

    6 x 6 x 1/2 inch 1/8 inch thick precision die cut EPDM cost in the USA about $2.00 each in small numbers. The price goes way down when ordering large numbers.
