Heater box flap foam started to disintegrate. Any way to re-enforce it?

[Konstantine Bogach]

The contents of the heater box are lying on a desk.   Thanks for Home 
Depot pointer.  I will check with them today.  But I don't recall seeing 
a foam with sealed surface, like the one on original flap.
I was thinking about applying thin coat of gasket sealant. Anything I 
need to be cautious going this route?
