NOPE ! No glue.

But, DO wipe or smear some anti-seize (a thin smear, not much) on both sides of the plenum & runner gaskets so they do not stick and tear next time they have to come apart. Makes disassembly much faster and cleaner and you can reuse those gaskets since they are neg pressure.

nice tip about spreading the anti seize. I'll try it next time I clean my TB also
