No idea why it didn't cure. But, when the silicon dies cure it emits an acid
as part of the process. These acid fumes eat away copper.
I found this out when I mounted a servo with silicon and it soon there after
died in flight and the plane crashed.

I think it is a big mistake using silicone.
One there is no way to decontaminate it short of sanding to the layer
past it. But as you sand it pushes it down so you have to change paper
frequently and vacuum it out.
Two ... it doesn't get along with electrical components.
Three the cure is too
