I didn't use any kind of goo to seal the hose to the barbed PVC end - just wrenched it on and a single clamp as you can see in the picture. I think I used some Teflon tape on the PVC fitting threads. Here's my system in use. I'm using Titebond, as I believe you also do Ron. I usually clamp them 45 minutes to an hour and then move on.
