    For those who are intereste, search for adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. Mcmaster.com has it. it will provide a watertight (if done right) seal around the wire connections.

    We're anticipating carrying this at Strike Models in a couple of months as well.

    decently difficult if it is over a connector like a servo lead... not impossible but not as easy as the non0sealing stuff. not too bad just covering soldered wires.
