Sealing rear lights. What size BUTYL ROLL

[T3rra]

I'm putting clear lense on the rear, lights need sealing. I. Tried silicone in the past never again. Sunny day turned to down pour. Not the best time off year, but I'm hope to do it quickly in side the body shop when there repairing window trims.

Anyway question is what size BUTYL ROLL do I need? Round bead or flat.

Thanks

This is similar to what I bought, seemed to work just fine but that was under the bodyshop's heat lamps. I think getting it good and soft, and gentle, even tightening of the ligh units, is key.

Only that it'd have to go somewhere. You see a lot of lights with the black oozing out around the edges. Or, if it's too hard to squeeze out then it will make the lights sit too far out.
