I have a few recessed light fixtures that I want to seal. I notices adhesive backed 2″ wide foam strips at the hardware store. If I use this under the flange ware it presses against the ceiling it will be a lot of piecing pieces together. Does anyone make sheats of this stuff that I could lay the ring on and trace and cut the profile. Thanks Jay

Yes they make it in sheets. Don't know where to find it.
But I would start looking in the yellow pages under rubber suppliers.
The ones that I have run into have all kinds of specialty items.
If not try googling.
But most can have lots of holes in them for ventalation.
But there are AT, air tight, cans. And they have whatever kind of seal needed in the can or trim.

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
Where you need IC cans, they come with just what you describe included. Are your boxes already installed? Are they the right ones?

Yes the cans are already installed. They look like remodel fixtures. I am not intending to put insulation around them, just improving the airtightness around the can. Thanks Jay
Check the manufactures web site for the same cans as IC and contact them to see if they will sell you the gaskets
