Make sure the foil ring around the base of the dome extends under the dome, too. I like to use the 8" and 10" domes because my domes overlap the foil ring by 1" at least. Then I seal the entire rim of the dome to the foil.
Because my domes are large and my bulbs are lower wattages I also cover up the holes around the light socket. I've done it this way with 4 fixtures for over a year and no problems yet. I wouldn't cover the holes if you have a small dome or use a high wattage CHE for a 12 hour night cycle.
Just thoughts for you to consider.
