The dielectric grease seals it up and prevents corrosion. Just looking for a non melting dielectric grease, fairly common for this application. The old brown gook seems to really last. Im not sure how other company's or newer style fuse panels seal up the weather side of there fuse boxes can only tell you that the classic update harnesses from AAW do not have any sealer in them. Im thinking about some long haul trips eventually and Im sure there will be rain/water potentially in this area.

AAW is a vendor here. Call them and I would think they could give you some info.
