It's gonna get wet on either side. The "compression" and "seal" comes through the gasket so...10x3x2 FOWLR (for now)

The problem with silicon on the gasket side is it causes the gasket to continue turning from the lubrication. It then starts to come out from under the flange and not seat where it should be to keep water from traveling the threads.
