Default Process

Hi,
It is going to be messy in any event, but not necessarily difficult. Start with the crown ring in place. Use a conical tip on the tube or caulking gun tube, with a small hole at the tip. Push the tip as far into the terminal as it will go, and try injecting down past the ring. When it starts to back up, move over and repeat in a new space. Continue until all the interstices are full, then spooge your way out, nearly filling the cavity. When you screw things together, the caulk should just barely squeeze out the other end. If a lot squeezes out, inject a bit less next time. If none squeezes out, disassemble, shoot some more in, and reassemble. Next time, squeeze a bit more in to begin with. Either way, it's a matter of calibration.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
