If you can't find their website, you may have to use those tough purple veggie rubber bands. I hope that helps. PBP

If you cannot find the actual gaskets, try using elastic headbands, which are about1/2inch wide, and can be found in the hair care section. You could cut it to length, and glue the cut ends together. Perhaps you may find a size that will fit without cutting. I bought a pack of these to use to hold the plastic garbage bags in my kitchen trash and they work well.

take the lid, go to an auto parts store and have them fit it with a large plump "O" ring... All fixed. Ov course wash the "O" ring thouroughly.

I ordered mine from Fantes Kitchen Wares-I found them online about 2 years ago. The shipment arrived fast and I was very satisfied with the rubber gaskets.

The best places would be thrift stores or garage sales. Sometimes you find more that you expect for very little money.

I found several listings at Amazon.com when I Googled "gaskets for glass canisters". Good luck!

My Ace Hardware reliably has them! If not there, then Sur la Table, but they're bound to be more expensive there.

I'm looking for a canister seal ring. Apparently, it is unusual in the replacement world in that the ring fits as a band around a part of the lid which inserts itself into the canister. I found lots that are horizontally flat or ones which fit like a washer into the lid threads.

Mine is vertically flat with a flange (profile is a sideways "T" [-- shape). Lots of canisters are made with this detail. I just can't find a replacement. The size needed is 89mm ID, 95mm OD.

You can go to any hardware or hobby store. Bring your gasket with you (or the jar lid) to make sure it's the right fit.

These sound like unusual jars so you might be better off taking them to an old fashion neighborhood hardware store (where they still have inventory from the 80's or 90's) if one is available in your area. If not, then someplace like Ace or True Value might be able to help you find at least one or two of what size you need.

Try Google with "old fashion hardware stores (your zip)" and you may find something in your area (big name stores will also pop up so ignore those) and plan a nice trip one day to several stores with maybe a coffee break at a never before visited cafe.

There are all sorts of gaskets for jars (rolled, gel rolled for grooved slots, flat, rubber or synthetic) so if you take your jars and lids with you someone may be able to help find something that will work.

Of course, if this something that is really necessary and not just something "wanted" then you may have to order custom made but these would be expensive. Auto stores sell a variety of gasket material to make your own but I'm not sure if any of these are safe for food.

Here is a link to a site that makes custom gaskets (they made a gasket for a very old pressure cooker) but it might take a lot of photos.

I have several drug store style apothecary jars of various sizes and differing lid sizes as well. I would love to use them as canisters, but cannot find the proper gaskets for them.

One of them had the black "tab". Any suggestions, besides rubber bands would help.

A very easy online search for "glass jar gaskets" produced many replies. You can try a search yourself or Amazon has many sources for various gasket sizes.

Another place or area to try is plumbing like at Lowe's or Home Depot. They are black and may possibly fit. Draw a line around the gasket inside and outside, this way you cannot fail.

I would suggest going to Bed Bath and Beyond and seeing if they have some gaskets for your canister. There are a lot of markets such as Wallmart that sell a set of gaskets for canisters.

You might find it there or you'll need to order online through Amazon.

Could you wrap a wide large rubber band or several narrow ones around either the lid or the top of the jar to act as a seal?

If you kept it just make a template of it or keep it intact in a zip lock baggie and take it to the store. Easy Peasy!!
