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. Rotate the cap a little to make sure the RTV is spread internally to 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?
