Sealing up air filter housing - how?

Hello all, i have a little problem. I had a K&N filter fitted in my Ten, and snorkel was cut, but it's a bit messy job and bottom flange sealing up against filter had very uneven edge... I think this can let some dust and small debries in to clean side of airbox :-(
Now - what is the best way to seal this up?
At the moment i have put lot of multipurpose grease in this area, but somehow i'm worrying that this could be sucked in to the engine and clogged up throttle body, or cause some other problems?
Is using silicone seal is safer?

Third option is to but DNA stage 1/2 top airbox cover, but not sure how it will fit K&N filter... might end up needing to seal them two as well :-)

Any thoughts or experience on this topic ?
