Just put a nice amount around the edge of the pan and set for a
minute...then trim or wipe any excess from the inside lip.  The trick is
holding it in place while you torque it, so get an extra hand and it will
take minutes, instead of an hour.  Good luck.
P.S. Always let a little squirt out of the "cheese can" if you got the
aerosol can, when you are done,so you have a little plug that will save the
rest for next time. Just like Cheese Whiz. :-)
