Answer:

Permatex Copper Spray
Hard to answer definitivelyThe copper in Spray-A-Gasket is mainly there to increase heat transfer, so the gasket won't degrade under the heat coming from the engine If I had to guess if it would be conductive to any degree, I'd say no.
Form-a-gasket does poorly, but aluminum foil is cheep, and works fineUse contact adhesive to stick to the cabinet.
You will need to block the skirtSoak or wash in cold water, gently wringing out as much water as you canLay out a towel on a flat surfaceGently stretch the skirt back into shapeIt may help to pin it it place while it's dryingUse long straight pins or macreme pins to tack it to the towel The success of the reshaping depends on the fiber content of the yarnIf it is 100% or at least partly wool, bamboo, cotton, or some other natural fiber, you can expect it to reshape wellHowever, if it is mostly acrylic or synthetic, you will have little success reshaping itBut it is definitely worth a tryIn the future, store it folded on a shelf like a sweater Good luck!
