Using copper spray on a stock HG is fine Nash. Works well to fill in the small imperfections on the block/head decks. I've used it on several now. Just be very careful laying it down on the block one it's tacky...make sure the index pins are in place.

You DON'T want to use it on a new MHG though...attacks the viton factory coating.

Just hang the gasket on a metal rod between something tall enough so it does not touch the ground. Spray both sides with a good coat (no runs), wait till tacky, pick it up by the edge, and carefully place on the block. You get one chance to drop it on the index pins ;)

You do not want to spray the block or head.
