Heat shrink alternative when tube won't work...
 

Is there an equivalent of heat shrink tubing for wrapping a wire that
is already spliced so that you can't fit a tube over it.

i.e. is there something like a "slit" tube that you can wrap around a
wire and then when you heat it, it both shrinks and seals?

Thanks

Electrical tape?
How about resplicing it with shrink tubing already in place?
Can you slide shrink tubing from one of the other ends?

There's heat shrink tubing that has adhesive on the inside walls. I suppose
you could cut that type of tubing and wrap it around the wire and try to
seal it that way.

There is no cheap fix without resplicing the wires with heat shrink in place.

Now you can get a pour rubber covering to put the wires in the plastic open case
and then mix up the rubber compound to pour in the plastic form to insulate all
the wires or just one at a time. Now these kits sell for about $20.00 a each and
may not be worth it.

There is a rubber type liquid that comes in a can you dip tool handles into
to make an insulated covering for. After dipping you pull the tool handle
out and let the excess drip off back into the can and then let it dry. Maybe
you could separate the wires and dip them into this. Do not know how much it
will insulate though. You'd have to find the product and read the properties
on the can label. It should be easy to find on the net with a little
searching or maybe even at one of the box stores.

How about heat shrink tape?

Its available at Home Depot and Lowes. It's called Plasti-Dip.
It will take a couple of coats to decently insulate an electrical
joint,especially if there are sharp points on it.

Heat-shrinkable tape is also available,but I don't know where it's sold.
Maybe Radio Shack,or Graingers.

There is also a silicone tape you can use. it stretches and than fuses to
itself. I've seen it at Radio Shack and Ace hardware.

What a dumbass! The purpose of this group is to find answers to
questions that are not easily found elsewhere. If I knew to Google for
the answer (seems like "silicon tape") then obviously I wouldn't have
to ask here.

I guess being an unemployed and uneducated asshole gives you a lot of
time and motive to contribute useless posts.

And so is your post. There's two names I won't bother
