my main concern is fire hazard....


Ge silicone II should be ideal for this. If any part of the yoke gets
anywhere near 400 deg you've got much more to worry about than a little
silicone catching on fire. The windings and plastic housing would be
destroyed far below that temp, not to mention that it would probably
break the CRT neck. The silicone should be much less flammable than the
plastic parts of the yoke anyway.
