    Made my Dog House Gasket tonight using rubber weather stripping from the hardware store (adhesive on one side) then used an old trick ive used on many things (carpet, insulation, molding etc.) where the bolt holes are. I marked where the holes were around the perimeter with tape , then heated a steel rod cherry red and easily melt a hole through the molding so the bolts go straight through with ease. Makes life ALOT easier! cheers
