Concerns about Silicone

I'm thinking about using a couple of dabs of silicone
to affix the end caps of my secondary, but am
concerned that the dielectric might be bad.  I'd like
to use something that remains flexible so that I could
remove the cap if necessary.

I've also heard that out-gassing occurs as it dries
and that the residue might be of concern if it
condenses on the inside of the coil.

Need I worry about using this material in a coil?

Thanks,

Curt.
