Donnie - According to our technical gurus - they recommend an
alternative method.  They would first wrap the connection with our
130C tape.  This tape is a linerless rubber splicing tape.  It is a 30
mil thick tape with excellent sealing and insulating properties.  They
then suggest overwrapping with our 33+ which would add the mechanical
and abrasion qualities. 

Thanks - Holly

For what it's worth guys.
