Tube arcing

My tube was arcing, at the positive connection

I have fixed it with silicon sealant, will it of done any damage to the PSU or tube?

Cutting is a bit less efficent than a couple of days ago, but my tube is getting old so it could just be that

Thanks

Chances are - no! Not if it had not been for too long.

Had the insulation broken down?
Best

Yes, at the anode.
