For how much it costs to pick up another versus the hours its takes to replace one before you should have to again I think its worth it just to buy another.

x68324, don't reuse it. It costs much more for the hospital bills when you whack your head against the wall instead of just putting 40 into a new gasket. not to mention time, frustration, busted knuckles, yadayadayada...
