How do you seal your small block oil pan?

Pan is new, from Kevko. I took it off to finish the job, I will re-check the pan and end rails for straightness.

Krazykuda, I am leery of using silicone or RTV around the rubber seals because it seems to squish out everywhere. When I did this previously, it went everywhere except where I wanted it so I took it off and scraped all the RTV out as best as I could. Are you saying put the silicone between the seal and the half-moon part of the pan?

Also, thought I don't plan on taking the pan off once it's on, using the tacky stuff on both sides essentially ensures it's going to be torn up on removal. Would putting the sticky tack on one side be OK? Not really understanding why the need for it on both sides of a paper gasket.
