Speaker Replacement

Speaker Replacement
I'm going to be swapping some speakers around for a client this weekend and i was wondering if there is anything i should be aware of.  
 
In the Tom Mitchell book he talks about using aquarium sealer and gaskets to make the speakers air-tight against the front of the cabinet.  
 
Are these necassary? I've looked around and no one else mention sealer or gaskets. Is this overkill, or did I just miss that day of school? This guy can never make up his mind so there is a chance the speakers may be swapped out again in the future and I would hate to have to sit there with a razor knife cleaning old silicon off some expensive old speakers.  
 
Any other comments and suggestions are very welcome.  
 
Many thanks,  
 
Warren
