Fuel sender screw sealing

I was wondering if anyone had sealed over the back of their fuel sender screws?

I was thinking when i dry installed them today, that it wouldn't be that hard to cover the whole nutplate and screw end with sealant, then back the screws out. I doubt the sealant would stick to the screws, but as a precaution i could rub them in boelube on the ends.

This would achieve a good seal around the screw ends, and the proseal on the flange should do the rest - then no sealant would be needed on the heads.

Cleaned the screws in MEK and installed them with a drop of proseal. Also used socked head cap screws (stainless) to make removal easier, if necessary, in the wing root fairing area.
