same here, only the outer layers. I may try all of them inbetween. wonder how much more thicker it will make the gasket and if so, effect the compression? .0001:1

For you guys that use the copper spray on your HG's .... Do you let the spray dry (overnight?) before installing or just wait a few minutes after spraying and install them "tacky"?
Thanks guys!

I did mine tacky. My engine is completely filled so I don't have to seal water only combustion. Tacky lets it fill into any imperfections in the deck surfaces.

Interesting read:

But, imo it doesn't matter either way. But I sure do get tired of seeing: "Well my friend has a 4000hp drag car and he sprayed his gaskets, so that means that obviously everyone should do it, or else they will blowz up!"

lol
