How much hammering did you do to make those 315's fit out back?

Its just like the stuff used on the end of a pair of pliers, but thinner. It works best when you do the front and back of something so it has itself to bond to and seal up around something.

How well will it hold up? I sanded and plastidipped a splitter on a C6 Z06 but never wheels. Considering plasti-dipping some Deep Dish C5s White and throwing them on my 30th SS. Just don't want it looking like **** a month later.
