Graham,
I believe either Neoprene or EPDM can be used for gasket material.

Getting  my cap off was so difficult that I broke the cap and the surfaces
were  damaged. I built up the cap and made matching surfaces of aluminum  
that
were bonded to the cap and centreboard housing. Later I removed the  
aluminum
from the cap side as I was not happy with the bond and decided  that having
used the aluminum as the base the join surface of the cap was  now perfectly
smooth and with the additional reinforcement on the cap it  was unnecessary.
I then used a neoprene gasket that I made from a sheet and  affixed it to 
the
base with gasket sealer and then used silicone between  the gasket and the
cap. I was able to remove the cap with less difficulty  than I expected but
will try a dry install with neoprene next  time.

Is it possible (required?) that the gasket have no gaps? ie  it needs to be 
a
piece that is long and wide enough to be able to cut out  the complete form
in one piece? 

It also sounds like if the flange  and top are not smooth enough or strong
enough they should be built up with  glass before putting back together,
right?
