The invention claimed is: 1. A gasket assembly, comprising: a gasket having a woven sheath comprised of a multiplicity of strands and a wire mesh core, the wire mesh core defining a gasket interior volume; and a clip for engaging the gasket, the clip comprising a head having an apex, a pair of shoulders and a neck, the clip having a longitudinal axis; a base attached to the head, the base comprising at least one coil course, the coil course having a plane and an interior space defined by a base perimeter, the longitudinal axis of the head extending perpendicular from the interior space of the coil course in a first direction to the plane of the coil course, the first direction above the plane of the coil course; wherein the base further includes a tail, the tail depending from the plane of the base in a second direction, the second direction generally below the plane of the coil course, the clip comprising a single resilient wire having a first end and a second end, the second end of the resilient wire comprising the tail. 2. The gasket assembly of claim 1 wherein the tail is dimensioned to be insertable into both the woven sheath and mesh core without damage to the gasket. 3. The gasket assembly of claim 1 wherein the base comprises at least two courses. 4. The gasket assembly of claim 3 wherein the courses have the same radii of curvature. 5. The gasket assembly of claim 3 wherein the courses have different radii of curvature. 6. The gasket assembly of claim 1 wherein the first end of the single resilient wire comprises at least a portion of the head of the clip. 7. The gasket assembly of claim 1 wherein the apex, shoulders and neck of the head lay in a single plane. 8. The gasket assembly of claim 1 wherein the base is dimensioned to fit within the gasket interior volume. 9. The gasket assembly of claim 8 wherein the clip is adapted to be removed from the gasket interior volume. 10. The gasket assembly of claim 8 wherein the courses have declining radii of curvature.
