I have a gasket, and the manual calls for RTV on the gasket. I assume if I have a gasket, use a much thinner bead of RTV? Thanks for the tip on waiting, I probably wouldn't.
yep, it won't take much rvt. pretty thin coat - smooth it out thin and wide with something.
Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
