I Googled this as you suggested and it appears to be a really nice product.
I noticed that the minimum cable diameters for the different products in the
series match the most common feedline diameters that we use, including
hardline. Very nice!
Thanks for the tip Jim.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] sealing goop
I'm pretty sure it's been described here before. The ones I've seen are
made by 3M, but I can't recall what it's called specifically.
I just looked on their website and there's
3MT Wraparound Heat Shrink Cable Repair HDCW sleeve
But, I also found something that looks even niftier (and needs no tools,
etc.)
It's the 3M Silicone Rubber Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8440
Series. It seems to be a sort of prestreched tube with a core. You
slide it over what you want to seal, and pull the core out (which peels
away like a grease pencil wrapper) and the tubing shrinks down over the
workpiece.
google for the name of the stuff, and you can find the datasheet on 3M's
site.
