Default Backplate Gasket Replacing

Hi all, in putting a engine(and plane lol) into the ground which was soft grass, i had to dismantle engine for totally cleaning its innards , that went very well, with me being extremely careful not to turn piston etc, what did happen was in removing the back-plate , the very thin gasket came apart, Is there anyway I could make one, perhaps of some material, making a new gasket doesnt intimidate me, or scare me, its what to make it out of that does lol , I measured the thickness of damaged gasket with a micrometer , and it came out to .007 thou, almost 4 times the thickness of newspaper, which here is .002 , someone told me to make one out of cardstock, but I'm not sure what that is, and if it's paper itself, wouldn't the oil soak through it and leak?
Anyway, I need tips lol, the engine itself is a Royal .46 size
BEst Regards!!!!!
