Help please on Valve Covers

[Mill Knob]

I am going to be putting on my valve covers. Kind of stupid huh. When putting on the valve covers should I put the adhesive on the valve covers and then put the gasket on and then put some adhesive on the heads? Or should I just put a little adhesive on the valve covers to keep the gasket on then put the adhesive on the heads?

I know that this sounds stupied for me asking but I just forgot and want to make sure that I only do it onces. Plus I now that I can ask yall any thing.:biggthumpup:
