There's not many other re-useable gasket like materials that you can use, not only does blu-tack fullfill the requirements of a low pressure gasket (under 10psi) it's also adhesive, seals very well with low mounting pressure, and easily removeable for adjustments, changes ect. I looked, and couldn't find a better alternative (other than something permanent like silicone)
