Default New gas cap gasket...what adhesive?

My '68 came missing many things...the gasket for the gas cap among them. This translates to gas sloshing out and down over the top of the tank, and stinking up everything :U

I got a new gasket from doc rebuild with my last box of goodies...question is, what shoud I use to bond it to the gas cap?

Last time I did this I used the Permatex Black "Hardening" stuff. I forget whether it's "2A" OR "2B". All I remember was it was the "Hardening" stuff and after 5 or so years it's still holding great. Just use a "film" of it-don't gob it on so that when squished it drips into your tank.

Thanks, I'll check at the local O'Reilly's and see if they have a tube kicking around, they certainly have lots of Permatex products.
