What gaskets for Canton Valve covers

What VC gaskets is everyone running on their Canton valve covers?

I didn't have much luck getting LT1 rubber gaskets to seal Canton covers.
They don't hold their shape in the corners.

A set of perimiter-bolt SBC cork gaskets did the trick.
I just trimmed off the bolt-hole provisions that got in the way.

I ran stock style and just used RTV to make them stay where they were supposed to on the VC. Then just dry mounted them to the heads.

Did exactly what the above poster said - RTV'ed the gaskets to the valve cover and then installed.
