Shouldn't be a problem. That Teflon tape holds up pretty well. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Teflon tape should be fine....if you want a super seal go to the Yamaha shop and get the silver Yamabond...$13 a tube but I've used it on two TA covers without a gasket with zero leaks or weeps....super stuff.
