Safe to put dialectric grease over rtv silicone?

I have a piece that is weathersealed with rtv silicone and am thinking of adding some dialectric grease around the area also for extra sealing. Anyone know if the dialectric grease would soften or otherwise react/damage the rtv?

Dielectric grease is silicone based and should pose no problem, it may however creep under and or into the material that the rtv is bonded to as rtv will not readily bond to polyethylene and nylon
