As for sealing, i just used a good silicone between the pan and plate, no leaks!
Thanks Woodro. That's similar to what I was thinking of. Actually, IF, I did this, I was going to make a gasket to seal the plate. I was thinking welded nuts to the inside of the pan. From the sound of things, I won't need to do this after all.
