If at all possible, wire connections should be wire nut, and

I've never used that liquid tape stuff.


It's good for insulating terminal blocks to prevent accidental
contact. Works reasonably well to seal connections too - like
wire-nuts. slop a bit in the backside of the wire-nut and it keeps
moisture out. Or on a crimp connector (if you ever "need" to use one -
stranded wire only)
