Good day

In the store of SNG-Barratt I have ordered a few gaskets/seals (see links below) and would now like to install them. Now my question: Is a pre-treatment necessary for these gasket before installation, such as soaking them in oil beforehand? With previous cork gaskets this was necessary. Exactly what material are the gaskets made of? I don't find any information on the homepage except "paper style".
Thank you very much for any feedback,
kind regards
David Michel

Hello David,

no pre treatment is required form those gaskets.
What I normally use is Hylomar on the paper gaskets more as an aid to correct location rather than to improve the seal, i.e. to keep the gasket in place as I assemble the corresponding part.
