Default Fel Pro Gasket Paper?

I'm going to be taking my TB and Air Chamber off to do some repairs and I forgot to order the gaskets for them but I have a bunch of Fle Pro gasket paper and I'm wondering if I can use that instead of the metal gaskets? If its an option what size and type should I go with?

I've taken off and put back on my throttle body about ten times now (don't ask why) in the past month and it has no issue with the stock metal gasket.

Keep it stock, don't break it or bend it in a weird shape and you'll be ok. RTV will make it seal worse, so just leave it as is.
