Can I reuse the IACV gasket when cleaning it?

None of the auto parts stores have an Idel-up valve gasket...Is it rubber or reuseable? I don't want to take it apart to clean it then be stuck with no gasket.Thanks for the advice guys!

its a paper gasket, check your local toyota or lexus dealer they should have it or if all else fails, get some high temp RTV sillicone and apply it. but make sure its an even layer.

Is it necessary to drain any coolant when cleaning the IACV?? I want to do this, but I don't want to have to drain any coolant....

...I could probably stand to put new coolant in though......
