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.
