Default throttle body gasket

When putting the throttle body back on do I have to use gasket maker or put it on with out?

The way i see it is it came with a gasket it should have one when it goes back together, so either the proper gasket or a thin bead of tubed gasket

DO NOT use any kind of sealer, or tubed gasket, on it. Put a NEW gasket on it when it goes back together. It cost less then 5 bucks, don't go cheap on that. It'll only cause problems in the future if ya do.
