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.
