Has anybody tried any of that liquid electrical tape? I just noticed a
bottle in my electrical box the other day. It seems it could be a real
mess in tight places, but not as bad as trying to wrap tape in close
areas.

It works OK as a sealer but is messy and hell to get off.

I use that stuff to seal/tidy up the ends of lines I've cut with a hot
knife. I dip the end of the line into the can and then let the line
drape and dry for a day.

Why don't you do it the correct way?

What are you thinking? A sewn whipping with sail cord or a back
splice? I like the latter.

Back splice, of course! Three strand should do nicely.
