weld on beadlocks

Just finished the install of a weld on beadlock kit. I have the tire mounted surface ground flat but wondered if anyone had leak problems and used silicone. When I broke a tire down that I blew the bead on last week I found enough mud to fill up a 40 oz. bottle inside. Gonna dump a 1/4 bag (sarges idea) of airsoft pellets in each tire before starting the bolt tightening party. Nice weather today to do some outdoor welding! :o I think I lost 5 lbs.!

leaks..... yes
always put half the bolts in (16 of 32) and used soapy water
to find the holes , mark them and unbolt the lock while it is still on
vehicle, tack up holes and go on
last set was for tinbeater we had 1 hole for 4 wheels
wasn't bad

Got air soft pellets in the tires now and have to get a gun to shoot the leftover pellets. These tires and rims are starting to get really heavy with the added bits. Gonna have to upgrade the inner shafts soon.
