Rear diff cover sealant. Is there a paper gasket fot this?

I'm going to be working on a car that needs the CV axles replaced but I'm wondering if there is any way around the 24hour cure time of RTV sealant. Can you buy a paper gasket for the cover? Basically I need to put the car back together so she can drive it home that day however it looks like I may be giving her a ride. what if I took a spare diff cover and coated it in a thin layer of RTV the day before? Id imagine compressing the rtv like that would stress it and break the seal. Any ideas? I dont see a paper gasket in AllPartsExpress or any other sites. It really seems like there should be a paper gasket for this
