Does the force touch gasket need adhesive?

The replacement force touch gasket for the Series 5 comes with two extra installation adhesives. But every guide that talks about the gasket NEVER MENTIONS them!

Does the force touch gasket need these extra strips of adhesive or is it sticky enough by itself?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If you leave it out, you lose a lot of the water resistance. Normally with a phone you just baby it, but with a smart watch you really want to preserve the water resistance and not take chances.

Are you saying to use BOTH adhesive strips, on either side of the gasket?
