   I have sealed up a few by:  1. moping up dry,  2. wiping the entire 
top dry with 100% isopropyl alcohol or lacquer thinner without pressing 
down on the top,  3. without touching the top inject a fillet around the 
insulator at the top [½ wide at the hypotenuse] with (RED) high 
temperature silicone sealer, let set up without disturbing
