Abstract
Abstract A gasket is made by applying a mixture including ceramic fibers, inert clay and water to the top and bottom surfaces of a double sided perforated metal core. The surfaces are smoothed and dried. The assembly is subsequently calendered to a predetermined thickness and individual gaskets are then cut from the assembly.
