Being in outside repair with ATT for 40 years, I had plenty of experience with
attempting to seal closures. First of all if the closure, splice or what have
you is NOT encapsulated it will get wet. Either from condensation or from
weather exposer. Taping a splice or connection will only retain moister and get
worse, it is better to leave a splice open to the weather than try to tape it,
better yet encapsulate it. Temperature changes cause condensation inside
closures and it will stay there. The best thing to do is allow the closure to
breath. Put a hole (3/8) at the low point of the closure and cover with a piece
of screen (to keep bugs out). You connections will be much happier.
