While the factor stacks gaskets with few issues, I prefer the single gasket over a stack. Another option is to use some spray tack to glue together multiple gaskets.

Thanks. I think I'll go with the 1/32 gasket. I think it's close nough and I prefer one over multiple layers. No ridges to worry about, but I don't really have a need to alter the performance characteristics.
