Yes.  We had some high-vacuum equipment when I worked in labs, and it occurred 
to me in the wee hours this morning that it was silicone vacuum grease we used 
on the gaskets.  A very, very small amount made a remarkable difference; it 
can't fill gaps, but by keeping a gasket from binding it ensures a uniform seal.

Thanks Rick. Research has suggested silicone grease.

Automotive gasket sealer?  The kind that sets-up into something hard?

Petroleum products do nasty things to rubber, and make a greasy mess.  Any way 
to shim the plastic beneath the gasket at the point of the leak?  Or has the 
gasket stiffened with age, so that it needs replacement?

Might be ;-)

Still some testing and modding to do. It has a small leak between rubber
end cover and perspex body. Need to find a usable gasket sealer, maybe
something like petroleum jelly? It can't stick down permanently as it is
the access to get the camera in/out. I've already ordered a cheap LCD
monitor that I can use to view with through the top. In principle it
works well. More when I have something decent!

Looks as though it's gonna be fun!
