Sandpaper the old gasket and the outside of your new gasket
When you finish turn your gasket inside out

STEP FIVE:
Apply aqua seal in the leftover gasket using the brush, make sure that you use the latex gloves
STEP SIX:
Place the new gasket on top of the basketball and start placing it in line with the leftover gasket. IMPORTANT: Remember that you are doing this process inside out, make sure that your gasket is inside out before you place it.
STEP SEVEN:
Use tape to hold the new gasket in place
STEP EIGHT:
Wait for 8 hours letting the aqua seal dry, remove the tape and the basketball.
