Gasket material for intake boots?

I'm also up for making gaskets from the rubber based gasket material but really just wanted to see what's worked for folks. Maybe I'm being pennywise and pound foolish, but those things are over $80 guys! Probably should also look at some new airbox boots too since they could be letting some air in. I've tried using zip ties instead of the springs and that's helped some but I suspect I might have to bite the bullet.

It's the stuff tools can be dipped into improving grip.
I believe the person painted it on thin using a brush.

That is such a vital part of the whole operation of the engine,and diagnosing carb problems.
Sure,they may be able to be temporarily repaired,but when you least expect it...expect it.
And you know,it WILL be miles from home.:blush:

That's what I did. Use the hi-temp black silicone rubber RTV stuff.put a thin bead of clear silicone between the boots and the head when you install them
