Water Pump
Do any of you use gasket sealer along with the water pump O-ring? Do any of you just go dry and use the o-ring only? If you do use sealant, which is a good one that I can buy without waiting a while to get it shipped?

I went dry...
on the 3b in my 200q20v, and I'll go dry on the 3b for the UrQ as well when I get to that point in the build. I've not done a timing belt on my 90, but I wouldn't use sealer there either.
Just make sure the surface on the block is clean and smooth, use the new o-ring that came with the WP, and only tighten down the WP once. I think I pried with a long screwdriver against the AC compressor mount on my 200q20v to get good tension on the TB. You need to be able to twist the TB 90° with your thumb and first finger with the belt tensioned correctly.
