Hi All,
I got my lid seal started and it went well.
Pic 1 I skim coated the board to help hold things in place while I smeared a full coat on.
Pic 2 Gasket fully impregnated. This will be cut in half for 2 gaskets. one for the lid, one for the dome.
Pic 3 I set the gasket to the outside edge.
Pic 4 I set the dome gasket to the line drawn to the outside of the lid.
Pic 5 I put a layer of waxed paper on the dome and set the lid on premarked index marks. When it was set I gently but firmly pulled the lid up. It held on and then popped off. OS, I thought, but the lid came clean off the dome and the remaining waxed paper peeled right off. Thanks for the tip, Dan.
I’ll add a couple more smoothing layers of silicone, then onto the hinge/latch mechanism. The old gas shutoff will be removed.

EDIT: I scrapped this method and followed Dan Cox’s method. I used an 18" square piece of fiberglas mat and will cut my circular gaskets from it. I also made some small rectangular gaskets to use on my interface connections.
