[QUOTE="riptragle1953, post: 35873, member: 2328"] See, when the wet silicone is lightly tightened you stop when you just see the material start to bulge on the outside.... thus it will be the same on the inside. When cured the rubber gasket is thick and solid with no protruding thin pieces to come loose. There is perhaps a very tiny bulge when you do your final tightening (and the tightening itself doesn't have to be over-torqued... just reasonably tight). What tiny bit might bulge a wee bit from the outer case joint can be leveled with your fingernail. The point being is the fact you have a thicker, solid gasket that stays put.... again: there are no strings after tightening as the the rubber is now solid and strong. [/QUOTE]
