Silastic RTV (TM). The stinky stuff that can be corrosive when 
contained. It makes great butt splices with silicone rubber.  You really 
don't need the high temp version, but it is available and the same color 
as the chimneys.  I'd use the clear sparingly and just on the mating 
surfaces.  Let cure thoroughly before getting near high voltage.  I have 
a tube of the high temp stuff, but the drive might make it a bit on the 
pricey side.

However, "Aircraft Spruce" 
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/mepages/rtv.php has it in small 
tubes at a reasonable price.
