Do not put enny thing on cork that will make it slippery, The cork will squeeze out and break. Its ok to put silicon on joints but not on all the cork gasket. Copper coat would be ok but let it have sum time to git tacky before you install. I glue 1 side with 3M 8001 adhesive, seal joints with black or gray silicon. Reason I use 3M 8001 izz to hold the gasket in place during instillation, it also needs a few min. to set up and depends on temperature, hot it sets up fast cold may need 5 min to set up. It izz tempting to install with out adhesive and may werk with out enny problems were you are at cuzz the gasket does not werk in a environment were their are positive or negative presser like were gaskets have to live on a engine. Cork will live a long time if it izz not affected by heat. Were heat izz a problem I had rather use a good silicon. Make sure yet sealing surface izz flat and clean as possible.
