[SEL] Head gasket material

[curt at rustyiron.com]

I have a substantial quantity of sheets of real asbestos gasket material.
Are folks in the old engine / tractor hobby looking for asbestos gasket
material for head gaskets and such? Curious if it is worth bringing to
Portland sometime and peddling it.
