Default PVC conduit repair question

I was just poking around looking at sealants, considering the best way to actually seal the end of the pipe and came across epoxy putty. Do you think it would work to seal the 3/4" diameter end of the pipe (where the wire comes out)?

Epoxy putty.

See:

To seal the end of the pipe, if you need to do so, I would use duct
sealing compound. It is putty that does not harden, it lasts forever
and is cheap. That way, if in the future, a new cable needs to be
pulled through the conduit, you can do so without breaking, cutting or
digging it up.

By the way, your approach of putting it in conduit is a good idea, at
least you give it some protection from an errant shovel blade in the
future.
