What kind? Just sealer? Also going to seal up the holes that don't line up and drill new ones. The middle lower hole just grazed the top of the cutout. Two screws were angled and completely missed the gasket. There is water damage on the lower part of the cutout and the backing board. Glad that light bulb burned out.

Yes, my lense holes were also cracked. The cause are the improper width screws setting hard in the plastic, but not the wood.
Earl, just fyi, if you use butyl tape, there are no need for o-rings. The butyl tape forms a water-tight spiral seal around each screw.
