  • electrical waterproof wrap? help.

    Hi forum pagan gods...
    Alright...I wired up my cage lights together on one 15amp cable...lots of soldered joins and heat shrink....
    Problem...ive not sealed the joins as best I couod have...is there a dust moisture proof product I can wrap or cover the joins with as I do not want to recut them to place on more heat shrink....the joins are sealed but moisture may creep into them as the heat shrink at the time was a little large bore wise....
    You help would be most welcome...best. answer gets a six pack or a reach around hahahahaha

    You could wrap them in self-amalgamating silicone tape.

          There are a number of makers of self amalgamating tape. Here is another. http://www.rescuetapeaustralia.com.au/
          This website has a lot of good info on it (directions, applications etc...) These guys sell their product at the 4wd shows. I used it to (temporarily) repair my rear airbag that had a tear. Bought me some time till I got a replacement...

            I know you stated that you dont want to undo and redo your joints and not sure if I'm stating the obvious here? Have you ever considered using 'glue filled heat shrink' in the first place. As it heats up and starts to shrink, the internal glue lining becomes soft and liquid, the trick is to start from the middle of the piece of heat shrink and work outwards ozzing the glue out the heat shrink. The glue will also give you a little tolerance if the shrink is a little too big.
            Down side once cooled the shrink is rock hard and you'll have to cut it out if you need to redo. Up side rock hard so the joint is not the week link anymore. Air is also forced out so preventing cable 'green death'.
            A little more expensive available from jcar still might be cheaper from your bigger electrical wholesalers. Used this on heaps of underground 240v jobs during my sparky days.

            Another option if you do want to go with the glued heat shrink, if you have enough slack in your wires double one wire back over itself slip the glues shrink over the top and shrink away just make sure some glue comes out each end forming a seal. You could also Using pliers squeeze the end with out the cable coming out to seal it. Caution getting hot glue on your fingers is = to bitting into a hot jam donut and getting the lava like jam on your tounge.
