well if some came of it just re-spray the gasket. when i used cometics in the past i use to spray them also, but onces i finished applying at least 3 coats to each side i let them dry really good before i installed them but when i installed them i tryied being as carefull as i could be. I recommend respray them before you put the heads on just in case they do leak.

If it starts to leak use silver spray paint instead of the copper spray. Let it dry and re-install the gaskets. The silver spray paint has worked better for me than the copper coat on my other apps.
