Any tricks to massage it into a better fit? I have heard about maybe using petroleum jelly? Old o ring ripped when it was removed so no go in re-using that one.
The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. And you have burned so very, very brightly Roy.

Yep, sand the surface smooth on a flat surface. A piece of glass works. I also flatten all the sealing surfaces. Use fuel resistant grease on the face and the o-ring.
