I would stay away of any type of silicone because some silicones if applied
directly on the coax will harden the
outer insulation and cause cracks if they are bent.
Also silicone does not have more than 5 years of ageing before it should be
removed and redone.
The cushcraft boots will eventally go into a chewing gum like state after a
couple of years.
I would recommend a good electrical tape with selfvulcing tape over that
again.

Question... has anyone ever heard of or used pure
silicone grease in coax connectors to protect against
moisture and corrosion?
