Default FAST manifold porting/sealing question

I cracked open (not literal) my FAST manifold and did some minor port matching and then cleaned it out. When I reseal it, are there any tips with the RTV so that I can avoid having leak issues that some have reported and on the other hand dont have too much rtv that there are blobs hanging out intot he runners? Just looking for any prior experinece from others to shorten the learning curve a bit.

Thanks in advance.

A dremel tool with a nice set of burs will do nicely. And then finish it with some 220 grit sand paper.

I had mine port matched at TEA though.
