If you're very concerned, just stack a bunch of washers underneath the screw heads to effectively shorten the screws. Not the prettiest solution but fine for your application.

Is it possible that the bottom of the pan was oily, and it wicked into the wood and the oil is preventing the adhesion of the stuff you're trying to apply? Is it the entire piece of wood that won't take your sealant, or just the approximate area underneath the pan?

Technically, any mask meant for filtering breathing air is a respirator. N95 is alright, we called for that any time concrete would be cut or drilled dry. But you would need to take care that it's fitted well. If you can't find any regular masks that fit well you might need to go with an elastomeric half-mask or something.
