I've just installed a new bathroom suite and after testing for leaks numerous times ( and finding none ) I eventually boxed in the bath. The waste is an all plastic integrated popup waste as per

I have now found a small leak and obviously need to fix it. My first thought was to tighten the slotted hex nut fixing the popup plug to the back-panel/section, to ensure no leaks through the seals.
I initially tightened the sections using a flat blade screw driver but I have since tightened it about an extra 1.5 turns using a socket set. A bead of silicone was also applied to both upper and lower rubber seals before installation.
As it is an acrylic bath I am worried about applying too much torque and splitting the bath, so my questions is:
Is there a max torque setting when tightening the waste?
Thanks
