Took apart my Fikse FM5s...what sealant should i use?

I took my wheels apart to clean them really well. Anyone know what type of sealant i need to use to seal them back up (2 pieces that the main center bolts up to)
They used some kinda white rubber feeling stuff. Not sure what it is. Also what are the torque specs for the bolts holding the wheel together.
Thanks
Marcin

Call Fikse they will hook you up. Not sure if taking the rim apart was a good idea. It may not be true when you put it back together??? Anyways Fikse has EXCELLENT customer service!
