Are HKS (or other metal headgaskets) reusable?

[MarkTurbo]

As title, just wondered really :?:

It has been known, but noone recommends it. It's gonna cost more than the price of a new headgasket if you get it all back together and then it blows. (unless you do all the work yourself)

I've re-used my cometic metal h/g and so far so good.
Still bit dodge trhough.
Only reason i re-used it was because i wasn't 100%sure i'd fixed the prob and expected to take the head off again.
