I believe Wilson says that you should not use the rubbery type of sealer to seal the case because it will cause the case not to mate fully and will cause a loss of bearing crush. I'd advise you to use something else - I use the Permatex (3H?) aviation sealer - brown gooey stuff that goes on with a brush - and it's always worked well for me. -David
