    It's hard to tell, but do you see any "void" when you put bulkheads with gaskets on?

    nope no voids around the bulkhead...if anything a little silicone would help right?

    i didnt water test them but the gasket seems to seal up fine on the glass

    Try not to use any silicone. Clean the holes inside and outside well before you install the bulkheads and gaskets. My old 29 had a chip, tested fine, but when I took it down, it had huge chunk of salt creep caused by a tiny leak over time.
