On weatherproofing connectors, I've used a material that is rather

There is a putty epoxy that is used for repairing swimming pools.
Comes in 2 pound chunks of putty that are to be kneaded together.
I was given a bunch of the stuff years ago and discovered that without
mixing them together, the putty is invisible.
And lasts for years.
Connectors can have the stuff on them for years and when I pull it off
they look like new.
