throttle body help needed

[sn-95matt5-0]

hey guys i fixed my oil leak(i hope)when i put the throttle body back on the intake

we broke the gasket some how we couldnt get any gaskets from the parts store but we got some rubber like gasket material(said it was the same stuff used to make the timing cover gasket)will this work for a temperary gasket

and also the throttle cable is really loose now any advie on this.....its almost like the cable is too long is it possible that it stretched an inch over night

the throttle cable isn't going to be guitar string taut. There's quite a bit of play in my throttle cable.
