Using Porsche's stock parts you use a gasket top and bottom of the insulator with no sealant.
But I'm not inclined to disagree with Henry. I do wonder if he seals the insulator down so it stays in place during occasional manifold removals on a race engine.

Sealant
I used this upon recommendation of several veteran re-builders, brown tar like stuff:
Just a very light coat, you don't want excess to go down the intake.

I have seen, because of the wall on 3.2 gasket being thin, the gasket side pull into the intake and cause a vacuum leak.
I do replace the insulators when building with new and don't use sealants. Bruce |

Another gasket sealer is "GaskaCinch"; looks like very thin rubber glue, applies with included brush and easy to remove.

It's wise to flatten the insulators on a piece of glass (or something else known to be legitimately flat) with some fine grit wet-sand paper. If the insulators have some rough edges or nicks on their surfaces, this can invite the gasket to leak. Not to mention the 3.2 intake is notorious for showing loose barrel nuts.
