I use the same method with no problems in 13 years.
Don't forget, most RTV are water proof, not moisture proof and moisture is poison to that core.

If the caps are loose, I'd apply enough RTV to fill that void so the seal extends the length of the cap.

Place a generous drop of RTV on the end of the Phillystran, then install the

cap.

I use caps on my 6700i Phillystran and they were a snug fit before the RTV. 
YMMV.

Well folks I am back.
     I have now applied my Phillystran to the boom truss and  the foe and
aft guys and clamped them as suggested. I also purchased Vinyl End  Caps for
the correct size Phillystran. When I went to install the end caps they  were
very loose. What is the CORRECT way to put the end caps on the  Phillystran?
