The combination of those re-pop covers and cheap gaskets make for a bad combination. I just use the "right stuff" as the only gasket. Works great.

Thing is, now both covers have slow leaks, yay! Anyone run into this? Tried bending clips to get as tight a seal as I could, and made sure the seals are contacting properly. Ideas?
