   Depending on use, I use "Red silicone `gasket maker" compound" from the auto parts stores and 
Walmart for most of my sealing, gluing and protection jobs.  Once cured it is very insulative.
I think it does not produce any acetic acid as it cures, but there are several brands and they 
differ slightly in color and texture, some might.  (produce acetic acid as it cures)
   You must degrease and dry the surfaces before use.
