For recovering flybacks, I always use Permatex sensor safe black RTV silicon from the auto supply. I don't know what the jury says about acetic acid, but the fly I recoated in a predicta using permatex over 10 years ago isn't complaining.
I suspect that you'd really only have problems with the acetic if you have exposed windings where the acid can actually get at the copper... or if the varnish is weak enough that the acid can penetrate it.
