Supplies to make your own Seals
Instead of buying the readymade teflon seals, you can also cut your own seals if you have rolls of Teflon tape or PTFE tape.Measure the length of each seal and cut same length from your PTFE roll.Make sure that what you have is a High Temperature PTFE Teflon Adhesive Tape.Unlike ordinary teflon tape used for plumbing, these tapes can withstand high temperature.After removing the old tape, it is a good idea to clean the surface using something like Goo Gone before applying the new seal.
