I know of installation errors with the Best seal all too well. IIRC, I packed it in place tightly with a big socket like you would an old school rope seal. So like Mick says, maybe don't do that.

Third time was the charm with the a BOP one piece.

Failure #1: Seal rotated in the groove and bunched up


Failure #2: Melted and made a big mess
