Thanks

Gasket paper or Heldite liquid gasket. Just make sure the surfaces are flat to each other and the thinnest of jointing compound/material will do the job very well. Even a sheet of paper will work as a gasket done properly.

I used FLEXOID Gasket Paper for mine and the water pump etc. Not sure how it will perform though as only time will tell.

Re: clack valve gaskets
My modelwoks 4" doesnt have the flattest of surfaces on many of its mating joints possibly because its a very very early one, anyhow I've found that Klinger Gasket Material I bought on E-bay works really well and since changing to this I have had zero issues, where as before I was always getting little annoying bubbly bits from places like the governor and safeties plates with anything else after a few steamings.
