I like to take my vernier's and measure the housing, then bump them out one or two thou from that width. Lock them in place there, and use them as a jig to glue the seals together. You can basically dab some crazy glue on, and jam them in....in about 5-10 seconds you remove them and they'll be exactly spaced so the come apart when the engine's torqued.

I love that tip.
To add to Ludwigs though, I use me SS workbench - flat as glass - with a piece of that release waxed foil on top, with the waxed side facing up. Glue the assist piece to the seal and fold the foil over. Them with two old apex seals, use one to hold them flat on the table, and the other to make sure the planes on the assist piece and the seal line up. Hold for a minute or so and slowly peel the foil back. It will not have dried all the way by this time so be careful. Trim the excess glue away and leave to air dry. Just before assembly make sure there is no glue residue and if there is, trim with a single edged blade and clean with some acetone.
