A static gasket assembly having a grid-like carrier ( 10, 10 ') formed as a mesh of overlapping strands. Openings ( 16 - 22 ) are created strategically in the carrier ( 10, 10 ') with the severed ends of the strands forming cantilever stems ( 12 ) projecting inwardly. Any one of a variety of specially configured sealing elements ( 24, 30, 32, 36, 38 ) are pressed into the respective openings ( 16 - 22 ) with the cantilever stems ( 12 ) engaging a peripheral groove ( 26 ) in each sealing element to retain the respective sealing elements in position. The gasket assembly is then placed over a surface to be sealed ( 40 ) and the carrier ( 10, 10 ') can either be removed, or remain as a permanent fixture of the gasket assembly.
