A gasket-like device includes an elongated core, an outer jacket of glass fiber yarns, woven, preferably braided, entirely around and along the core. Each of the glass fiber yarns has an outer surface exposed to view with a polymeric resin coating in an amount sufficient to at least cover essentially all of an outer surface of each yarn exposed on the device and insufficient to obscure the plurality of individual glass fiber yarns from one another in the outer jacket. The outer covering may be coated with a colored polymeric resin to produce a desired exterior color. In a described embodiment for self-cleaning ovens, a plurality of individual fasteners are spaced along the device. Each fastener includes a base captured within the outer jacket and an engagement portion extending outwardly from the base through the outer jacket. A method of manufacturing and coloring the gasket-like device is also disclosed.
