- Good day all, I went into my local Home Depot store and expected to find liquid plastic/plastic in a can, but they didn't carry it. I'm trying to seal some connectors that are going to be put up outs

- Plasti-Dip is the name and Lowes handles it--both in the liquid and a spray version. I prefer the black for UV reasons. And usually buy it by the gallon from plastic specialty suppliers. Lowes only s

- I don't like the stuff for coating tool handles, but prefer the "liquid electrical tape" which is carried by Ace Hardware and I think possibly Lowe's. It comes in several colors. I normally use two a

- Lowes had a supply problem with this stuff a year or so ago. I have seen it in months past -- it was in the paint department right next to the desk. John -- how long does this stuff stand up in the b

- I have used the liquid electrical tape from Home Depot. It works quite well, and has stayed put on an outside coax connection for over two years. Lowes also carries it. It comes in a variety of color
