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.


duct sealing compound is great stuff, too.


Yup, that's why I mentioned it above..... ;-)
