Poulan K100

I have a vintage (read old) Poulan that I'm restoring and recently rebuilt the carb with a new Tilltotson HL carb kit (Thanks Butch). I pulled it apart and cleaned the body with mineral spirits and hit the hard gasket buildup areas with 700 grit sand paper (very fine) installed the gaskets and reassembled. I got the saw to fire-up and am in the process of adjusting the carb. However, I see a bit of gas coming out from around the gaskets in the body and where it meets up with the intake. The rebuild kit involved me putting to gaskets over each other in some cases and I don't have experience in this. I tightened the assembly screws down firm (not over tight) with some loc-tight to hold them in place. I know if there's excessive air getting in it will make the saw difficult to adjust and perform. Should I pull it apart and use a gasket sealer? If so, do you have a recommendation on what type of sealer? (Hard vs. Pliable)
Thanks,
Scott
