Your way and the final result is really outstanding - Great appearance of the latern....

May I ask , what is this for a material? - looking like chewing gum, but I ma sure it is not....
Is it for holding the elements temporarily together?

@Uwek : Just a guess, Cool paste / heat-stop. For example https://www.boley.de/en/shop/4678.soldering-paste/801.soldering-paste
