I used silicone to implant my LED's! I thought it was a firmer solution!

--AW--
OK really bad puns aside... I used Dow Corning "Bathtub 100% Silicone
Sealant" that I just happened to have lying around! Caulk is a good idea
however I get images of windows when the caulk cracks and pulls away over
time after it dries out (scraped and re-caulked every window in house, an
experience I will never forget... whew)

--LH--
The caulk was quite firm. I am curious about a product with the name
"silicon" in it. Did you attempt to measure the dried substance for
conductivity. I'm not going to buy a tube just to see. :)

--AW--
I didn't think about that! I just assumed so I just checked with my meter
and I'm happy to say it's completely non-conductive!
