That method sounds correct. You may want to start with the center of the pan
and thigten snug working to the ends, then repeat. Do not overtighten, as
that is what causes leaks, the pan seal will deform easily if overtightened.
A cork gasket and a light coating of sealant should work beautifully if your
surface is straight. Check it with a straight edge before re-installing, and
hammer it straight if it has warps.
