Indeed, that was when the idea of using the hot wax and the vaccum to draw the moisture out before encapsulating it come up.
I think another option would be to use low heat and a desiccant to further draw the moisture out, although I think Shango's hot wax is the best.
I suggest you remove the silicone and examine the paper windings. When you orig did the silicone did you note any black marks showing burns on the paper insulator?
