Ditto, I have always used the Permatex product on non-metallic gaskets.

I use Permatex aviation form-a-gasket on both sides of those paper gaskets
and never have experienced any problems.

What is the proper/recommended procedure for installing various gaskets?  In
particular, I'm reinstalling my thermostat cover and water pump.  These
gaskets are like thin kraft paper, and obviously are contact with
water/coolant.  The other gasket I'm installing is the timing chain cover
gasket.  This is a much thicker, heavy black material, and of course
contacts oil.  Should they have any kind of dressing?  If so, what kind?
Applied to both sides?

Thanks!
