1. A gasket for attachment to an electrically conductive object, the gasket comprising:
- a core having a perimeter and an attachment portion; and
an electrically conductive cover having a first and second end flap and being attached to the core by a first adhesive such that the electrically conductive cover extends at least partially around the perimeter of the core and the first and second end flaps are oriented adjacent the attachment portion; and
a second adhesive on the attachment portion and affixing at least one of the first and second end flaps thereto such that a portion of the second adhesive remains exposed on the attachment portion to affix the gasket to the electrically conductive object such that at least one of the first and second end flaps are retained in contact with the electrically conductive object.

Abstract
An electrically conductive gasket and methods of manufacturing electrically conductive gaskets. In one embodiment, the gasket includes a core that supports an electrically conductive cover thereon. The electrically conductive cover may be attached to the core or portions of the core by one or more adhesives used to also affix the gasket to an electrically conductive object. In other embodiments, a mechanical fastener may be affixed to the core by the one or more adhesives employed to affix the electrically conductive cover to the core.

34. A gasket for attachment to an electrically conductive object, the gasket comprising:
-
a core having a perimeter and an attachment portion; and an electrically conductive cover having a first and second end flap and being attached to the core by a first adhesive only on the attachment portion of the core such that the electrically conductive cover extends at least partially around the perimeter of the core and the first and second end flaps are oriented adjacent the attachment portion; and a second adhesive on at least one of the first and second end flaps for affixing the gasket to the electrically conductive object such that at least one of the first and second end flaps is retained in contact with the electrically conductive object and wherein at least a portion of at least one of the first and second end flaps contacting the electrically conductive object does not have the second adhesive thereon.
