Default Torque Specs Lubelocker vs RTV

I picked up a Solid diff cover off of a forum member on here that already had a Lubelocker gasket. Threw it on yesterday torquing the bolts to 30 lbs. Looks like it dripped once or twice over night. Are the specs for a Lubelocker gasket the same as RTV or more?

The first step is to torque to 15ft/lbs and then the second is to torque to 35ft/lbs. In all seriousness though, if you don't have a torque wrench, just put it on following the torque pattern and you should be good.

We use RTV called "THE RIGHT STUFF" this has worked the best for us. NO GASKET is needed just like the factory.
