Thats a really good idea to use a super absorbant material for that "just in case" a few drops get in (like my only leak was). If I had done that, I would never have had corroded terminals.

Mine leaked almost a year ago and this is what I do now. I ran across this video from robinb. I did what he suggested and I have not had any leaks since.

The silicone grease is a toss up some say do, some say don't. It's mainly to hold the o-ring place and only use very thin coat. The silicone will attract sand so the o-ring must be very clean.
