coating of this messy stuff has kept connectors dry and shinny for  years.
 
    Yes, lots of folks use it. It was designed for  burial and really 
doesn't have much in the way of weather or UV resistance.  After a couple of 
years, the ScotchKote flakes off too. Some cell installers  I've seen use a 
clear Krylon spray paint. Probably does a little better.
