Squeeze out a little bit on a paper towel, put in the MW and try it. I
don't think much will happen. But then, I could be wrong. So i think
I'll try it myself. If I can find the sealant in the mess somewhere.

A little is never good to microwave. That energy has to somewhere and
this *may* contribute to shortening the MW's life.

I didn't see any reason not to MW it, but Googled this:
