I just buy the gaskets from MTH, they're readily available. I don't recommend silicone, the gasket is more than sufficient to properly seal the smoke unit.
FWIW, if you're not getting a significant quantity of smoke at 9-10 volts on the track from a PS/1 smoke unit, something is wrong. They have a voltage regulator circuit to insure vast quantities of smoke at most conventional voltages.
I didn't even know Mth had the gaskets. I have never had good luck with their parts department so I just gave up and founds ways around it. I know silicone isn't the best but it works for me.

MTH IB-0000006-5 Gasket (for standard smoke unit) (25.0x37.0mm) (0.5mm thick)

The previous picture was one that I took out of the parts box, I have no idea of the condition of the wick, but they'll smoke good until the wick looks pretty grim.
