TB cleaning question

I cleaned my throttle body about 2 years ago and I was thinkin about doin it again. My only question...does anyone think i'd have to replace that gasket again? It was such a pain to get off..i really dont feel like having to deal with that again. Any input is appreciated.

Lubricate both sides of each gaskets with Synthetic oil or grease, my pick is Amsoil. Although, you could try to use Antiseize because they're capable of withstanding heats up to 2000C (4x the most powerful Synthetic lube). However, I don't think they provide good seals as the lube on gaskets were capable of doing.
