Default the easy way to use gasket paper write up

Some of you might already do this but for ppl still using scissors here is the easy way

First, use a bolt to attach the gasket paper to what ever it is your working on like so

then get the boxed end of a wrench, the smaller it is the tighter the spot you can get into

then start tapping the edges with the boxed end of the wrench

oh, that's how you do it. I'll have to do it like that next time because last time it took me 2 hours to make 4 gaskets, my cheap *** xacto knife breaking on me and my dull *** scissors didn't help either.

I don't think so, I think you just tap real close the where the end of the metal is so the metal cuts the gasket instead of you cutting the gasket with scissors.
