Cooking oil will usually restore the gasket well enough to get you through a trip.

I've gotten pretty adept at field maintainence of stoves over the years.  I also bring spare o-rings and parts.

I like the oil tip - probably some stuff in first aid kit that would do it as well - but I also carry a repair kit for my Dragonfly which fits in the bag.

Amen to the repair kit Bill!  It's amazing what can go wrong with a stove out on a trip, even when you've broken it down and completely cleaned and operated before a trip.
