Steve, ..."After applying the bedding compound, snug up the fasteners - say finger tight. Allow the compound to set up overnight. Then tighten the fasteners securely. Doing so is said to avoid squeezing the compound out."...
This is the method I use also. If you cinch everything down tight before the bedding sets up you will squeeze most of it out leaving you with a paper-thin gasket. BTW I like to use Boatlife caulk.
