From what others have told me, some silicone products (like marine silicone sealants) produce corrosive gases while curing so it is best to use silicone products designed to be compatible with electronics (which will not produce the corrosive fumes). The spikes' PCBs are coated so that might protect them to some degree, but the PWM connector left unprotected since the coating would render the connector useless.
