Was going to make a center fed dipole, and wanted to put some (non

Just wondering if this is typically 'ok' for full legal limit?

wasn't really sure if there would be arc over/breakdown or other

Unless there's something you're not telling us about your operating,
there will be little or no risk of "arc over/breakdown" at the center

Locate some 'aquarium grade', non-acidic _silicone_ "goo".
