If you are careful and don't rip the gasket you can probably use it again without developing a leak (Don't use silicone or some other form of liquid gasket garbage). Just keep an eye on it for a while. If you get a leak...just order a new gasket for it.
Thanks.. wasnt sure and didnt want to toast a gasket.. Appreciate it!
