Default Landing gear door sealing?


What are the do's and don'ts when sealing the landing gear doors? (besides not sealing everything shut of course!)

I am planning to seal the hinge side of each gear door with some TESA fabric tape. This seems like the no brainer. After that, i am less sure. Can the center gap (between the doors when they are closed) be also sealed with a pre curved mylar (i.e. Aileron type mylar)? My left door always closes first so the mylar would be applied to the right door. How about the front and rear gaps between the fuselage and the doors?
Is this an overkill? Thanks!
