Default Wires going into ESC will probably break off eventually... Best fix?

So the fan wires on my ESC have come loose, and as such I can certainly see my battery wires doing the same over time. What's the best fix? I was thinking some sort of silicon/cement compound, not only to make sure the wires don't break off at the PCB, but also to aid in keeping any water or mud out of my ESC.. Only potential issue (at least that I can think of) is that this would probably reduce airflow to the underside of the heatsink and also, certain compounds might have a degree of conductivity (though I think this is a nonissue).

I don't think the ESC is going to miss the fan that much, but the battery is another story.

Thoughts?
