But is\'nt Blue hylomar designed for use with a gasket? Where RTV isn\'t? I was told to check out the Grooves in the Legs (which was full of grey sealer) so i replaced mine with that.

But each to there own, if it does the job.

see photo, i actually used 2 bolts here but you can just slide it over the dowel. Obviously though 2 bolts is more secure.:
