With oring seals I have had some good results with using silicone blue on
the faces and getting a good seal but donΉt get into the oring area itself.
Not good to get in that area.  After that if it didnΉt seal right I ended up
using a material like jb weld and using a dremel to polish down to a near
perfect surface again.  If you use jb or similar materials make sure you
wait the full cure time on them before doing any machining on them..
