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 slow and any repair will require a repair with
silicone.
Four there are better products. Epoxy, if you need flexibility there is
hot glue or PFM like glues.

I installed two JR 281 servos in a HL pod made of hybrid Kevlar/carbon
cloth using GE Silicone II. After a bit of use one servo popped
loose. I reinstalled it with Silicone II. The Silicone did not
cure. I tested the Silicone by squeezing a bead on a piece of paper
in the open and it did not cure.
I got a new tube. Tested it in the open and it cured. Re-installed
the servo and the portion of the Silicone that squeezed out from
beneath the servo cured but the film between the servo and the pod did
not. Then the servo quit working. No response whatsoever.
I don't know if the servo failure is related to anything. I don't
know what's going on at all. Can anyone help me? I'd like to use
Goop but I think I'm locked into using Silicone since I used it
first. Am I correct? Or is there a way of decontaminating the
Siliconed surface?
