I thought I could draw out a gasket in a few minutes. Now after few days of messing with it, I still can’t figure out how to do what I’m trying to accomplish.
I’m trying to join the curved paths at these points so I can trim away the inside nodes to cut only the outline. I’ve tried everything I can find to join them, but I haven’t found the right thing yet. My plan was to create a circular array of this for the other five holes.

This is basically what I was hoping to accomplish.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I feel like I’ve read and watched everything there is, but I’m sure I’m missing some little trick.

      You should start by ungrouping all shapes and lines. first converting your shapes to paths by right clicking selecting “convert to path”. then select the node edit tool. when you hover over the node edit tool it will give you hotkey options. i would use “insert node (I)” and “break node (B)” you must convert any inserted shapes to paths before editing them.
