Different gaskets are installed in different fashion.
That being said I'd have nothing against the use of some spray coppercoat.
If it's blown now re-torquing probably won't help.
If it needed a re-torque it should have been done after one good heat cool cycle.
This ain't rocket science.
If you (or someone else) can't get it right the first time keep trying till you figure it out.
If that includes complete tear down and re assembly again accept it for what it is. Suck it up and move on.
You can go back over the process time and time again using the 20 different variables you will receive here, but in the end good mechanical practices will prevail.
Understand you are not working with the original materials. The gasket will not be heavy asbestos, and if you choose gasket shellac as a sealer it may be hard to find, and real crap anyway.
Take it apart, have the surfaces surfaced put in a new gasket with whatever process you feel comfortable with and re-torque it after a heat cool cycle.

If you didn't like the mechanic do it yourself, or find another. But chances are if you find another, and run him crazy over what-ifs and why-for's you will do it again, again, again.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
