Dont have the paper gaskets as they got broke when i took the case apart. And dont want to wait till I can order some.

Can I use sealant to seal the case halves together? If so what type?

Yes. Red FIPG is what the factory uses.

I was thinking that gray stuff. The regular parts store sell that red stuff?
