My false bottom has about a 1/4" clearance around the perimeter and I just drained my mash tun, and I have some husks in the boil, not a lot.

Is it worth it to find some high temp caulk or anything to seal up the edges for improved clarity, or will a tiny handful of husks in a 5 gallon batch not really do much?
 
Many people slit a piece of Silicone tubing and wrap it around the edge of the FB to fill the gap.
