I read recently on the list about insulating the O2 sensor wire splice w/ rtv silicone. This got me thinking how handy it would be to be able to make a nice waterproof protective coating on many electrical connections I make on and off the van. So what is the appropriate goop to use for this that will adequately insulate the conductors for 12v DC. How about 120v AC? I love to use this stuff I get at the DIY warehouse type stores. It is an acrylic latex caulk. Warrantied for 35 years, says ALEX on the tube, I think it might be a DAP product. It is only about $1.50 a standard caulking gun tube, and dries clear. I find it to be a great gap filler and adhesive too. Wonder what it's insulating properties are... Edward
