Gasket jig
I made up a nice gasket jig to cut and install the port hole gaskets on our boats. I had been lending it out and only asked that it be returned when the user was finished with it. It is still out there and has not been returned. If you have it could you please get it back to me at the address that is written on it. I thought it would be nice to be able to lend it to anybody who could use it but it has to come back to make that work for us all. If you have it, just give a reply here and send it on back as someone else wants to use it, Steve.

Re: Gasket jig
Please return Steve's jig. I have been sending excess gasket material to those who asked for it (it's all gone), and recommending that they use Steve's great jig to cut the gaskets to size. Steve has been generous enough to lend this tool out to CDers, and it needs to be returned. Thanks,

Steve:
I assume you have not heard back yet so I thought I would "bump" your post/request to the top of the pile.
Hopefully, someone will respond to you soon.

Re: Gasket jig
Mea culpa. Sorry. I don't frequent the Board these days, but upon seeing this post, I went straight to the post office. The jig should be to Steve on Monday. Thanks. And sorry again.
FWIW, I ended up making my own jig because Steve's didn't fit in my ports. It worked for making the gaskets, but it didn't work for holding the gasket in place as the jig and gasket are pressed into place during gluing. Perhaps that was due to some casting irregularities.
