If any silicone spills out of the slot, remove the excess
silicone by scraping the top with a small piece of
cardboard. This also ensures that the silicone is
pressed into the slot for a perfect seal.
LEARNED BY EXPERIENCE
If you wish, you may pad the slots with backing rod or nylon
cord before sealing the slot with silicone. This helps to prevent
the excessive use of silicone and is also useful when pulling
out the silicone if the detection loop has to be replaced.
