Gasket sealant/maker with paper gasket? Yes or No?

I also use Permatex gasket sealant - can w/ brush, gummy butyl rubber that cleans up w/ ethanol. If you put on both sides, the gasket can squirm out and tear. I also use it to coat bolt threads. For those w/ a small-block, test each bolt hole since some go into oil cavities, others water, and some are blind.
