Do you spray your gaskets before putting them on?

Thanks JET, one last question before I bolt it on. I put the front cover gasket up against the block. I noticed there is various overhang in spots where there isn't even anything behind the gasket. Is this ok or am i supposed to trim it. This area in the picture on the right side of the crankshaft is at least 1/2 to 3/4" of overhang without any engine metal behind it.

Thanks!!!
