For flanges... 1.5mm is already too thick. Paint it on and thin as you can. As long as there is no break in the sealant bead you are good to go. In a perfect world sealant is not nec. but its not perfect so we have to have something to fill the voids.
I rarely use sealant on items with gaskets, but I do put a tiny bit in the corners.
