I have now twice torn the mag gasket when timing a mag. What's the trick to timing a mag and NOT tearing the gasket?

DC-4 on both sides of the mag gasket.

Yes. It doesn't take much.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I knew a mechanic that would install two gaskets and swore by that technique.

But definitely, DC-4. I put that stuff in my coffee

Just remember, if you are right handed, apply the DC4 with your left hand. If not you won't be able to grip a tool in your right hand for the rest of the day!
