Sealant on engine gaskets?

Any views?
I am about to attach the timing case backing plate and was unsure if there should be sealant of any form on the gasket (e.g. the orrible Hylomar?)?
Thanks
Mark

I have some of this stuff:

Which I think should be ok.

Hi Mark.
I have done on all of my gaskets excluding the head gasket that is!
Just an extra precaution, just not too much though.
Regards,

Thanks Mark
I use the Heldite (which is thin and paints on) on the locomotive and DMU and just wondered on peoples thoughts.
So sealant it is!
