Try sci.chem (which seems to be on an anti-semitic binge right now,
but there are real chemists there).

The answer you seek is that some glues interact with electronics. The
acid in silicone, especially, will dissolve traces on circuit boards.
Other than that, it works fine, especially if you apply it in an area
without traces. Don't trust a solder mask; some are porous.

Most other glues are nonconductive, too, such as epoxies. You can make
them conductive with metal particles, but the native glue is
conductive.
