silicone adhesive as electrical insulation?

Leads from the cateye enduro's cyclocomputer body snapped off during
an accident.
I tried soldering the new length of magnet pickup wires following the
epoxy? block covering the pickup's connection pins molded into the
computer's bar mount AND then Gooping the wire's solder connections
to the bar mount at the epoxy block
If the Goop is a no go what adhesive is durable and adequate
insulation?
I thought Goop was waterless hand cleaner:

Have you considered epoxy?
Silicone rubber (RTV) is a good electrical insulator, as demonstrated
by the use of silicone rubber sheets as electrical insulators for power
transistors. But silicone RTV that smells like vinegar before it
cures can corrode metals, and if that's a concern, go to an auto parts
store and get some RTV labelled as being safe for use with oxygen
sensors.
