Post exhaust gasket
I picked up a sheet of gasket for 10 bucks at the auto store yall think I should double it up? Has anyone ever used this stuff before? It's no big deal to cut it out but cutting the inside holes is giving me a little grief. I was about to get the dremel out but it has run away with my box cutter.

A Xacto knife would work pretty good.

I seen an episode of Horsepower TV and they showed how to make your own gaskets. Use some old pistol or rifle shell casings to stamp out your holes in gasket material. it works well when you punch them out with a hammer.
9MM = .354"
.38 = 3/8"
.45 = 7/16"
.50 cal = 1/2"

the gasket has the metal backing, I found my dremel the first one looks like sh*t.

There you will have a problem.What about a hole saw that you put on a drill. Use light pressure. Maybe a metal one.
