I just use a small about of silicone on the metal part, then a decent amount of silicone on the plastic part, along with the supplied washers. No point using lsx on it silicone will do

I use McAlpine FBW2PC for baths and BSW10p for basins no sealant requiredregards turnpin

I suggest that you better out the silicon sealant on the end parts of the bath and the basin.
