the same always happened to me, also. I hate that! Their not worn out, or broken, but it lost its stickyness. Comes out with a bind. I just put in YYJ silicone o-rings, binds tighter, stays in better. Works great! ---

The recess isn’t very deep. Don’t do that. But if you want, you can buy a tube of flowable silicone, put it in the recess, and let it dry. ---

He’s saying that you probably shouldn’t flowable silicone it because it isn’t very deep but that if you did it would probably still work. ---

Ghost Pads, you mean Ghost Rings? But if pads, probably thick and medium if you want to cover up starburst or a cavity. Thick and large if you just need an all around sticker. ---
