I wouldn't be sure of which silicones to stay away from, but if you open the tube and it burns your eyes, that may be a baseline!
Flybacks are delicate as they are anyways and DaveWM brought up a valid point.. That one in the picture would have me wondering what to do though as it does make me cringe a bit!
Make sure Horizontal Output Current is in spec so that you can prolong the Flybacks' life as much as possible!
And even though I wonder if I did the right thing with mine I sealed it up but I used windshield silicone sealer. It's quite "liquidey" and will flow through the windings. I took the end of a plastic caulking tube (cut to size) and cut a slit in it for the plate cap wire. (fits perfect). I laid it sideways and filled one side and the next day filled the other. I did have to fill the slit area first to make a seal.
It's been working ok, made for a nice repair. As I've mentioned elsewhere, they do like to run on the warm side and it's temperature stays consistant if I have it on for an hour or two.
So, it's good to monitor it but I'd leave it for now. But this is a good topic to discuss.
