For the Fo8, I=E2=80=99ve always used Hylomar blue. Great stuff. I=E2=80=99m=
 sure other non setting materials might work just as well but this has alway=
s worked for me so I have not tried anything else.=20

Assemble the liners and Fo8 dry to measure your liner heights, adjust the st=
ack of Fo8 gaskets accordingly and put a thin coating of hylomar on them for=
 final assembly.=20
