Sure, it'll work. It might not compress as well, which might make the panel sit a little proud. It's up to you.

gotcha, and this stuff compresses well, like really stinking well. I was just worried that the material would let air in due to being made of slightly different material than the PE speaker gasket tape.

ok, finally got my ass around to installing on that access panel to my second tht.... ran a test sounds great, found a Tiny airleak around the access panel due to a divit in the wood creating a sligh pinprick passage to the outside (only really detectable with tube on something with really low extension). didn't have any PL lying around the house anymore so I ran a think bead of Silicone Caulk around that area to seal it off. just verifying that it will hold or will I need to yank it off and grab some pl from my buddy?

The silicone might hold. If it doesn't, you could put a touch of body filler on that divot, and sand it smooth when cured.
