thanks for the tip. The reason my washer isn't working is because I wasn't especially careful when I seperated the two pieces. There are a lot of high and low spots. Plus there isn't enough thickness to allow me to hand tighten the male and female pieces. I would have to use a wrench and I an unwilling to do that and risk cracking my glass.
To solve this I am going to purchase another one of the suggested washers and ever so painstakingly slowly cut them apart. This will not only give me a better seal, but I can use the flat side from the failed first one as a spacer which will allow me to get a better seal. Should work. Solution of last resort is to use silicon and seal the gaskets in there when I install the bulkhead for the final time.
