Intake manifold gasket set wet or dry?

Its been a real long time since I've done this. I have a set of new Felpro intake base to head gasket. These are the blue standard ones. Do these go on dry or smeared with a film of silicone? I make the end gaskets out of silicone .I'm just referring to the main left and right gasket.

If they are Print-O-Seal coated they need no sealants. However, it's generally a good idea to place a dab of sealant in each corner where the intake ends join the China Wall gaskets (if used).
