I made a pour spout years ago. It's worked great , but it has a few
issues. The seal to the cap can leak. and the cardboard/foil gasket
kept falling out.

When it fell out last time I lost it.. I tried to replace it with
an
o ring but none fit. So I went through my plumbing stuff and again
nothing fit. So I made a gasket from a seal that was too large. I
cut it in half to thin it, and also slit it to fit in. Sometimes
it
works and sometimes not...

I am no good at making a gasket with permatex, only gaskets that
you
compress in a bolt down...

Do any of you know of a solution short of going back to a
cardboard/foil gasket?

It allows me to pour alky and spirits without a funnel.

cut one from cork sheet?

That would be my first thought. Or - from a piece of gasket
material. You can get gasket material from any automotive parts
store. But... remember to cut your inside hole first - it's a btch
to do after you cut a piece to size.

a hole punch works well
