But I think the stuff that Gary was referring to is Silicon Rubber or RTV. It comes in clear, white, black and I think silver. Some people use a gob of it to hold connectors together. Watch out what kind you use, the normal house hold stuff forms acetic acid (vinegar) as it cures and will cause corrosion. Get the stuff that doesn't smell like vinegar. There's also a type that's made for coating circuit boards, it flows more than the normal stuff and will flow out to cover everything. The DOW brand of this type is type 3140 RTV coaating and meets MIL-A-446146. Don't use it unless you NEVER want to get the item apart. You'll NEVER get it out from under and in between everything.
