Default dumb question, can you reuse oem headgaskets?

My headgasket has 12k miles on it. most of them pretty mild miles.

im running mild compression, but is it necessary to buy a new headgasket?

I probably will, but just kinda curious if people ever re-use head gaskets

Buy a new one it's a lot of work if the old one blows on you. But my friend reused his he put that Mr. gasket copper spray on it and it worked. That only works with a metal head gasket and not graphite ones.
