Hi Dale,
I recall that thread well. I believe the consensus was to use butyl rubber
tape topped off with Scotch 88 or Scotch 33 (the 88 is thicker). I use a
couple of small black (uv resistant) cable ties on top of that to keep the tape
from flagging. The liquid you refer to is ScotchKote (also a 3M product). It
works great in a permanent installation. Just put a coat of it over the tape,
then another layer of tape and another coat of ScotchKote. It doesn't come off
easily so don't use it if you plan to disconnect.
