DON'T EPOXY OR SILICONE IT IF YOU WANT TO BE IN CODE! If you're in the US, the VGB Act is very strict on main drain design and install. Get this and get the right size drill bit with a 1/4" shank for the course-thread screws it comes with (the 'quick attach' style drill bit). Put that drill bit into one of those screwdrivers that lets you change out the tip of it, then drill some pilot holes by hand into the plastic part of the Ring. It'll be pretty easy to drill these holes by hand as the plastic is fairly soft. Once you have those holes, install the SDX retro cover I linked by following the instructions it comes with.
The job is a PITA, bit I've done it quite a few times with only a mask and a weight belt. You'll just bounce up for air every few turns of the screwdriver. Your other option is to hire a pool company to do it, bit it'll cost you hundreds vs $50 for the cover, and $10 for the drill bit if you don't have one already.
Another way I did it with an old employer was to use an air compressor with a cheap drill head from harbor freight. Washing beforehand and later reoiling the drill attachment as well as dragging around an air compressor wasn't worth the effort over just doing it by hand.
