Default RE: Homelites and gasket material(s)?

Anybody ever try these gaskets from this supplier.It is only the base gasket that he sells but it is amazingly thin and is rated to withstand up to 1000 degrees.This material is only .005 thick and will increase the compression ratio of the engine without having to mill anything down(according to these guy's).I can't find gasket material thinner than 1/32" around here and it is rated to a maximum temperature of 500 degrees.Just how heat/gas/oil tolerant do the various gaskets on a Homelite conversion have to be?I've used some gasket papers before that just turn soggy and fall apart when exposed to gas/oil.Here is the link to the above mentioned site:
