Hot Glue Gun or Not?

I am going through the build instructions and I picked up a low heat mini glue gun and glue sticks believing I needed one for the front OLED number panel. Upon reading the steps it states "With some hot glue RTV adhesive of some kind (like GE Silicone Sealant), squirt a SMALL...". Now I am confused. RTV is NOT what you would get with a standard hot glue gone stick and I am now concerned that using hot glue will permanently damage the screen and the main board.

Are hot glue sticks in fact safe to use, or should I be running out to get some RTV silicone in a tube?

Thanks,

Rusty
