If you exposed the winding then you may want to check continuity before applying fresh silicone... if you somehow nicked a lead open it will be much more of a pain to find and fix after you coat it.
BTW if you want to see the process of coating it I have pics of a CTC16 fly I did a few years ago in a thread here on VK. Shango66 on YouTube has some videos of this too.

I ohm"d out each winding ie 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and so on. Everything was in spec. Looks like a piece of wax paper came off with the silicone.
All the loose old silicon is gone. So ill look at your thread.
Btw I love shango066 s channel.
I dont know if this was the source of hissing but the non painted metal shield surrounding the 6el4 shunt regulator, there is a clip to hold the hv leads and theres a "shadow" almost burnt into the metal. As in its really clean were the leads were resting against and browned on the edge.
