Gaskets, material to make your own?

I am currently working on my distributor and there are two. The distributor-block gasket and the vacuum advance-distributor one. It seems like it is hard to purchase ready-made gaskets for such specific applications. So do you guys buy some type of sheet material and cut your own for things like this?

Sooner or later I'll be working on some other part of the car and will need a specific gasket so it would be faster and cheaper if I just make my own whenever possible. I have some Fel-pro Karropak gasket material and wondering if that paper-y stuff is good enough for using on distributor etc.

thanks
