Default Card gaskets

Just befor I refit the thermostat to my car...... Do I need to wet the gasket before fitting it to ensure its flexible? I have only ever used rubber ones before.

Thanks

David

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.
