Default Where can I find a timing cover gasket for my 1999 Honda Accord?

I am replacing the timing belt and the only secondary problem that I found was that the timing cover gasket was falling apart. I went to O'Reilly's, told the guy that they did not show it in-stock, but asked if they had anything else that would work.

"What make and model?"
[...]
"We do not show it in stock."
"What do you have that could work?"
"No idea."
"Would gasketmaker work?"
"Oh no."

I went across the street to AutoZone, told that guy the exact same thing, he asked what car I drove, apparently saw for himself that they did not carry it, and told me that gasketmaker would work.
I live a couple of hours from the nearest Honda dealership. The correct part is:https://smile.amazon.com/Genuine-118...=11812-PAA-800

$30.26 with free shipping, but it would not arrive here before the second, even if I paid $30 for shipping. The only other parts store around here is Napa and I have not tried them yet, but I am zero for two so far.
It is basically extremely narrow weatherstripping, but I imagine that normal weatherstripping would not be able to handle engine temperatures.
I tried Permatex, but there is not any way to reinstall the cover without smearing gasketmaker all over everything, and getting Permatex on the balancing belt, pulleys, and everything else makes my spider-sense tingle.
Do you guys know how I can fix this properly before Monday?
Thank you very much!
