The gasket of the present invention includes a length of rope having a circumferential outer surface. The rope is formed at least substantially by a plurality of woven fibrous yarns. The gasket further includes an elastomeric coating adhered to the circumferential outer surface of the rope along the length of the rope. The coating is applied to more than one-half and less than all of the circumferential outer surface so as to expose part of the circumferential outer surface along a single side of the rope. A layer of contact adhesive may be applied directly to the exposed part of the circumferential outer surface to adhere the gasket to a non-adhesive surface. The gasket is beneficially employed between sections of a sectional boiler.
