re-using wet gasket

Posted by DMartin9N-2N on July 21, 2016 at 08:20:57 from (74.226.93.28):

I have been working on water pumps for an antique Plymouth flat head six. When I replace one water pump with another on the test engine, the main gasket (made of heavy paper gasket material) is wet with coolant, and silicone Permatex does not seem to stick to the gasket. If I make a new gasket, it will be dry when being assembled, but then I assume when it gets wet the silicone will be of little or no value. Does anyone have a favorite method for water pump gaskets?
