Other than traffic tickets, that is. JB Weld has clear ethical standards!

For something a trifle less permanent than epoxy... I'd simply replace
the gasket. The instructions which came with my watch recommend
replacing the rear-plate O-ring gasket periodically (every few
years)... I imagine that the elastomer compresses, and becomes less
resilient with age, and thus doesn't seal as well.
