What part of Iceland are located in ? Most US Auto parts stores have electrical insulating compounds for about $3.00 for a four ounce tube. Once you open the tube you use 1/2 ounce and the rest dries out before you need it again. Your experiments with caulk are interesting but I sure wouldn't want to get your vehicle five years down the road when the calk turns to chalk and holds moisture.
