You don't want to use regular sillicone sealant, it has acetic acid in it 
which will eat metal!

There is varieties available that doesn't use acetic acid, specially made 
for electronics.  I think I remember Dow Corning make some, but it's 
expensive stuff.  Another alternative is aquarium sillicone glue, from what 
I've read it has no acid and safe for the fishies.
