If it was me I would buy the kit or fabricate one myself. (there are two links to it in this thread.) I believe the guy that makes these kit suggest putting them on so that they are tight to the drum wall so that after an initial break in period the rubber is an exact fit. Once this is done you supposedly can blow slush. If your going to do it might as well do it the best you can.
I don't think that caulk or silicon will hold up. Especially if you have a sizable gap.
All reports I have read on using lubrication, Pam etc., say it doesn't last long enough to make it worth the effort. The only thing that might be worth while is a good wax job once in a while. But don't count on the wax to fix your troubled snowblower if you got a 1/2" gap between the fan and the drum.
