Default where do you get graphite gaskets?

i need a thick compressable exhaust gasket, or just a sheet of gasket material, i've known graphite to hold up to heat well and seal well since we use them on flare stacks.

i couldn't swipe any at the last job i was on so i have to see if anyone actually makes them or if one of you guys knows where to get the ---- in bulk?

haha, actually i'm a welder by trade, i work in the oil and gas industry, have come into contact with quite a few innovative ideas that could possibly transfer over to our applications, and if i can find the bigassed sheets, or even scraps that these places discard i would happily make you guys gaskets too, since it wouldn't take long as soon as i got a cookie cutter made.

I just bought some ULTRASEAL exhaust gasket material from Summit Racing. For 16 dollars you get a 6 x 24 sheet to cut out your self. I made a exhaust gasket and a turbo exhaust gasket and they hold up great.
