Berg mentions having a spare junk head around and an alternate 
set of valve covers. Clean and dry the extra covers and glue the 
gaskets into them. Then clamp them onto the spare heads and let 
them sit overnight. The next day take them off and check to make 
sure that they are nicely glued in the correct position.

Then swap them onto your engine the next time it needs new 
gaskets. Note that it is NOT necessary to replace these gaskets 
every time.
