No, it won't release any fumes, bit it might relinquish its hold on the parts you wanted sealed. Its not really designed for any serious heat cycling. You would have been better served to use Polyurethane sealant. Comes in a caulking tube, in several decorator colours and is reliably permanent. Its what we use to fasten windows into buildings large and small and is more elastic than other types.
