Larry,
Was it Ray-Chem splice kit. I have used these while I was
in the Navy to cover splices that were made in submarine ballast
tanks. Yes, they make very water tight slice covers.

I found a heatshrink tubing here that is used to cover electrical
connections for deep well pumps. It has a plastic material inside that
becomes a Gel like substance when heated. I used it last year to cover
the large beads on a balun and the coax end for a temporary multiband
dipole antenna. It has worked excellently and handles easily a KW.
This type of heatshrink tubing is commonly available here in hardware
stores.
