Hi Wayne,
I had the opportunity to make a gasket for something that was sort of
unobtainium. Took the old digital camera, shot a nice close-up, measured the
major dimensions and made a simple b/w print to those (with a little trial
and error), then made a template. Worked great.
Regards,
Michael Lowe
