You guys state here that sealant is not needed - but in the FSM it says that you should use it, and the following thread is a "special order thread" for the sealant:-

So can someone confirm whether sealant should be used or not?
Is it just a case that in dry parts of the world it isn't necessary?
I live in the wet so I plan to use sealant.
If I were to go for 3M products would this be the correct sort of thing? |
Never use any rubberized/silicone sealer.
You can order the MB# or buy a tub of
Plumbers Putty at 1/4 the cost.
#1. Make a 3 MM diameter string of putty along the outer face of the body mounting flange.
#2. Smear the putty string on the body mounting flange, as a surface coating for the gasket.
#3. Make a 3 MM diameter string of putty, feeding it into the Body mounting slot.
#4. Make a 3 MM diameter string of putty, feeding it into the GLASS mounting slot.
