    Try using 4pieces of the local news paper folded in half and in half
    again til it is 1 or 2 inches larger then your flask. Cut a hole in
    the center half the diameter as your flask let it soak in water till
    saturated 2 to 3 min pless out extra water .Now you have a gasket
    that will not leak. Yes you will get a bit of water in your pump but
    this is removable as oil floats on water . also even if you have to
    change out your oil more often it is better then loosing a flask to
    no vacuum 

    I do alot of casting and my fellow jewellers who do in shop casting
    use this method .it works well 

    any questions please email them to me samolin AT hotmail.com
