Craig, to do it properly you need to part the joint and apply the paste on the inside of the pipe. I can't see applying paste from the outside doing anything. Of course you could wrap it and use a clip as you suggest but it's a bodge and will look like one. Sometimes the joint is 'sprung' and once you loosen the u clamp it opens up a bit so you might need to push the two together as you tighten it. If that makes sense. I've also found that the pipes can be too loose a fit especially if of different origins.. I've cut a thin strip from a coke can or similar to use within the joint as a fix. Advice taken Steve 👍, I used an additional U bolt and a jubilee clip. A bit late now as you have done the job but Mikalor clamps are better than jubilee and are what the M3W's exhausts are clamped with. https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/mikalor-stainless-hose-clamp-245296/
