Claim:
A method comprising: a) creating a structural part in the shape of a frame and having an upper surface and a lower surface, the structural part being made from a first material; b) attaching a first sealing part to the structural part, such that the first sealing part projects beyond the upper surface to provide at least a first sealing surface arranged in a closed loop, the first sealing part being made from a second material; c) attaching a second sealing part to the structural part, such that the second sealing part projects beyond the lower surface to provide at least a second sealing surface arranged in a closed loop, the second sealing part being made from the second material; d) selecting at least one of the first material and the second material to have hydrophobic properties; e) selecting the first material to have a higher elastic modulus than the second material; and f) creating at least one channel through the gasket.
