How about a little bit of sand? Remove lid, spread a handful of sand

I have a septic tank with round concrete lids at grade

As the concrete is a bit rough and uneven,
the lids do not seal very well.
Depending upon atmospheric and other conditions the
area is a bit malodorous.

How is a seal usually formed for such things?
Are there gaskets that are used? A ton of plumber's putty?
Something else?- Hide quoted text -

Wouldn't all the sand just fall in before you replaced the lid? (Sand
in a tank is supposed to be bad BTW - sewage truck drivers don't like
because it can't be vacuumed up)
