That's not good. Sweet usually means sugar, and sugar is very conducive to electrical current!
I could not identify blue tack from my kids cheerios, so I cannot say. But I'm concerned on how much you used. Me tinks you said "covered it up pretty well" if it is in fact conducive, then you could run a short to ground. Which could short out both the modem and your phone. But ONLY if it's conducive. I would use less and not allow it to touch ground, (Bare Metal) or use a spot of hotglue. Hotglue is liquid so make sure there is no power to the board when you tack it. Once it solidifies, about 3 good minutes it should be just fine.
If it's conducive to electricity, it will have some type of metal or liquid subsatance, or both in it.
Then again, if you have made this post and read these post', then it is probably non-conducive.
