After mating the matching dovetail sections together, wrap a length of either Garlock Smooth Finished or Garlock Diamond Textured Graphite tape (0.010" thick) around dovetail area. Width of graphite tape must be at least 1/2" greater than dovetail area. Wrap tape one full revolution around gasket in dovetail area. Be sure to overlap tape by approximately 1/2" and cut tape. DO NOT attempt to open or move tape at this point - it will damage the tape. With a smooth piece of metal that is greater in area than the dovetail area, softly tap with a hammer and blend the tape into the gasket. Place flanges together and follow normal installation procedure
