I used a good quality (Unibond) Silicone sealant on all the mating surfaces.
One did lose air after but this was down to me torquing the bolts up to 15 lb/ft and snapping the heads without knowing 
Redone this one and all is fine now.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

i bet a soft non-setting plumbing compound would be fine to seal it, would certainly be easier to take apart! Silicone is phenominally difficult to
break when there is a big area stuck.

I was going to suggest a non-hardening gasket compound like Hylomar blue. I hate silicone sealer, it's an absolute bugger to remove.
