Rad Bottom Hose torque?

Replaced my stat this weekend, but first drained by removing bottom rad hose. Everything works great but a bit drippy now at the bottom rad hose which is coupled onto what seems like a plastic outlet. So i didn't want to over torque that (differnet story for all the other connections those needed tightening to not drip). Well, I am getting a drip down there. I've tried loosening a little and tightening a little. I have a second clamp on there now and waiting for it to cool when I will either take the factory one off altogehter or perhaps leave both on (there is room) and both at moderate torque, or just tighten the new stainless one then take off the factory one.
So how to stop this drip? go for it and tighten em down? or be careful?
I know this isn't an exact torque wrench sitaution, but any words of wisdom might help stop that drip.
Thanks
TomL
PS. hose condition seems good, no cracks or splits or age really. Has been changed once already (1996 900s 155kmi 2.3L)
