Liquid Electrical Tape
I saw some liquid electrical tape at CAP, it appears to be sorta like rubbewr cement or something, has any one ever used this for their wiring? Is it better or worse than shrink tubing?
Thanks,
Chuck

Liquid Electrical Tape
This stuff seems great for waterproofing. I have an electrically-powered swimming pool cleaner - it has two 24V motors within it to make it crawl along the bottom as well as to pump water through an on-board filter. Had one of the wires break internally within the jacketed cable that runs down into the water. For some reason, the wire wouldn't solder, so I used a splice crimp and coated the joint with the liquid electrical tape. Yes, it can get messy, but I brushed on several coats, allowing it to cure between applications (a few minutes), and that sucker has been in my pool and goobling up crud off the bottom without any trouble. Very neat stuff! Just brush it on lightly, so it doesn't drool off the wiring. Several coats later, don't look back.
