Silicone and some types of plastics can be a bad combination. Due to the acedic action of most common silicones, it can cause the plasticizers to "bleed" and change their electrical characteristics. This reduces their lifespan and also causes them to become "lossier" in most cases. This is especially true at RF frequencies, but i'm sure that it would have some measurable affect at audio freqs also.To minimize the potential for damage, you would need to use "acid free" silicone. If the silicone your going to use smells like vinegar, it isn't acid free and WILL cause some type of reaction to take place. Sean
