too much thread sealant help!!

hi guys k, i think i screwed up. you know the long waterpump bolts, the ones that take sealant on the threads? well , i put the sealant on, but didnt let it cure, just put the bolts in right away. so the sealant squished through the gaskets well, anyway, i pulled those bolts to put some sealant on and let them cure. do i need new waterpump gaskets now? or should it be ok? (the waterpump is on now with the gaskets, but the question im asking is are they screwed cause theyres sealant on em? ) thanks.

I didnt use any sealant when I changed mine You are saying you just took out the bolts to put sealant on them,so you didnt break the gasket.You should be fine.When you let it cure and fire it up,watch for leaks.Shouldnt have any I bet.
