GE silicon Kitchen & Bath sealant from the hardware store.
You have to watch some of this stuff as certain brands contain
acetic(?) acid which corrodes copper.
It won't hurt a thing as long as it's not contained within a small
area. When contained it'll destroy copper and aluminum. Also it is
water proof, but not moisture proof. (see my earlier post)
I use a hot glue gun followed by copious layers of self amalgamatind
tape, followed by a couple of layers of standard PVC insulating tape
to prevent UV degradation of the self-amalalg.
Going to that much work I'd just go with flooded heat shrink tube.
