Thanks for the info. In this case, the quality counts for much more than
the savings!

Don, Jim and David Mc..,

For a guaranteed high quality self-fusing tape.
Check at a plumbing or deep-well pump supplier/shop.
Self-fusing tape has been used for years to water-proof the high voltage wire connections to a deep well pump.
Often submerged under 100's of feet of water pressure� 
I still have a leftover roll I used in ~1982 to install a new pump into my drilled well.
The tape is still flexible and seals to itself..

NB for longevity sake. Best to cover the self-fusing tape with a quality electrical or gorilla tape from
the elements�

The cost� I haven't a clue as I'm still using my roll from 1982� 
Gads, I'm a luddite�
