Tadpole gasket question

[Geezer]

I replaced the tadpole door gasket on my Quad Santa Fe, and it seems to me the top corners of the gasket have bunched up. Does anyone know how to flatten the corners without replacing the new gasket entirely? I won't be firing it up for a few months, but I imagine the bunched up corners would prevent an airtight sea, Thanks!

Try the dollar bill test... That will tell you if you're sealed...

Thanks DASKY! I never even thought of it, but it appears I have a tight seal. I even tore the dollar bill in the process....lol. Thanks again!
