1. A gasket assembly comprising:
- a core having a perimeter and an attachment face;
an electrically conductive cover member on at least a portion of said core perimeter; and
a disposable masking material removably adhered to at least a portion of said electrically conductive cover member on at least a portion of said core perimeter apart from said attachment face to define an electrically conductive contact area such that when said disposable masking material is removed from said at least a portion of said electrically conductive cover member, said contact area is exposed.

Abstract
An electrically conductive gasket for paint masking. In one embodiment of the present invention, the gasket includes a core, an electrically conductive cover that is applied to the core with adhesive. A film of material is attached to the outer surface of the electrically conductive cover which functions as a removable mask. The various embodiments of the gasket may be fabricated from materials capable of withstanding relatively high temperatures and may be provided in a variety of different shapes.
