Good tip! I've used rubber cement on one or two in the dim dark past, and have also used "corona dope" but the hazard with either is that it needs several days of curing time before the set can be operated. Otherwise the flyback will burst into flames.

If the smell of the silicon rubber is offensive one might try the sealant made for repairing leaky fish tanks. Such can be had at a pet supply store in the aquarium department. It is far less malodorous.
