    You are correct Sir !
    What I do is hold the gasket up there or use bolts to hold it flat in place and then use a squirt of aerosol paint (any Color).
    Then port to the edge.
    Also the name of the paint at the start of the Vid scares me.
    IF YOU CAN’T BEAT’EM THEN DYKEM?

    Jim doesn’t say not to use carbide burrs but that you should practice using them on a scrap head before attempting to use them on a good one. A carbide burr can quickly take off more metal than you intended if you’re not careful.

    a squirt of paint works in place of dykem
    a couple short bolts/washer to hold gasket, instead of hand holding gasket works better.
