Roy is level 10 wizard. This is the way to do it.
If I have the time, I like to let the lower RTV set up for a few hours while the cover is lightly tightened down. Then I add a thin layer to the top of the paper and lightly install the cover again and wait again. Then once everything is dried, you tighten up the cover.
The only issue is that it takes all weekend just to wait for the rtv to harden up.
That sounds like an even better method because it gives you a chance to make sure the gasket hasn?t shifted. Use the cover to mold the gasket down and make it stick and then remove the cover and put a coat of RTV on the cover and replace it. I always use a mirror to make sure the gasket hasn?t shifted.
