Warped jug perhaps? improperly torqued? Broken gasket perhaps?

Make sure the surface that the gasket comes in contact with is clean.

I never use that gasket shellac stuff, no issues.

When you torqued it, did you do so in a pattern? If you just torqued one at a time it probably isnt torqued right.

When you take you jug off look for pry marks or gouges ,run your finger nail across the bottom of the jug and the top of the case. Personally i do not use a base gasket because I like to eek out every little bit of performance(however small) I can.
