What material to make your own exhaust manifold gaskets?

Need to make gasket to go between head and extremely hot turbo manifold.
What material is easy to work with and will hold up to the sort of heat created by a terrible-flowing exhaust size under high boost?
Anyone used this? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/php-68070/overview/

That looks like the same **** I have in the garage. It works great for certain gaskets, but if it's the same **** I have i would NEVER use it on an exhaust.
I've used that same stuff to make a BOV flange gasket for instance. I'd probably use it for a waterpump outlet or something too, but exhaust gasses; hell no.

I use Remflex between turbo and manifold. Can't use anything that thick where i'm talking about now.

What i linked isn't the paper stuff.... What you're talking about is FOR stuff you're using it for. This is rated to 2000 degrees.
