Default Cometic HEad gasket question

Okay, i put the head on (with my new cometic headgasket), torqued it down, noticed something, pulled head back off.............Motor hasn't left stand.

Can i re-use my cometic or will it need to be replaced?

I wouldnt reuse it I was told that its the initial "squash" torqued down is why they shouldnt be reused.

Reuse it dude.

Im sure once you put in on again, squash it down.. Once it hits heat. It will seal and expand nicely.
