The hammer trick also works with masking tape for painting castings with machined surfaces. I did a Model A transmission case a few years ago, and the only cleanup was pulling the tape, 3 or 4 minutes, didn't even need to scrape it.
Regards,
Bob

It'd take me at least 5 min. to find an appropriate piece of scrap.
I have about 1,000 pcs of small scrap like that just for small hurry up jobs. Boxes and boxes of them...Bob

Hay Jerry, if I had YOUR money - maybe then I could afford to live on the edge.
Yeah, I've had a few motorcycles that ended up cereal box gaskets myself.
But with my luck I'd end up having to search for another little 2-stroke carb that they quit making 40 years ago.

I have made plenty of gaskets from cereal boxes. When you're 10 years old and your dirtbike is your only mode of transportation and it needs a gasket it's the perfect solution. It wouldn't be my first choice but when I literally had NO money but did have some tools they worked great!
