Resin Tray – what can/can't we do with them?

$

With the Version 2 soft trays:

1. The only piece of plastic we need to remove is on the outside bottom of the tray, correct?
2. The thick piece of plastic on the inside bottom is the “teflon” coating?
3. The squishy layer beneath the teflon coating is the silicone layer?
4. Do we still need to add silicone caulk to the inner edges and corners, or is the old news from version 1 of the trays?
5. If the teflon coating bubbles up and some resin gets beneath it, it’ll throw off prints, correct? (since light will be deflected, and the resin between the teflon and the silicone will eventually solidify?)
6. If the teflon coating bubbles or curls up, can we pull it out and clean it with isopropyl alcohol? Should we use anything specific to clean it (type of cloth, standard paper towels, certain percentage of iso alcohol)?
7. If we clean the teflon coating, can we clean the silicone layer, or must we avoid touching that at all costs? Mine is squishy, and I was afraid to run a cloth or paper towel across it after pulling up the curled teflon plastic.
8. What happens if a little resin refuses to come off/out of the silicone layer after pulling up the teflon coating? Is the tray now junk (at least for that print area)?

Thanks in advance for any answers. I’ve been looking around, and there’s a mix of info from versions 1 and 2 of the vats, and it’s unclear about the above.

I’m rather miffed that I haven’t even had ONE print job come out correctly and already had to pull out the teflon plastic inside that first tray.
