It is pretty common to have the silicone gel right in the connector
with underground splices. The mechanical pressure will squeeze it out
of the actual joint but leave the rest of the connector flooded with
silicone.

It is also useful for prelubricating new water pump impellers, a trick
learned from my diesel mechanic. It helps with insertion and also
prevents dry start wear and tear.

Apply the dielectric grease after making the mechanical connection to
insure getting a good connection.

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.

The guys out on Pine Island swear by it if you coat the soldered joint
and slide heat shrink over it, then shrink it down until the goo
squeezes out. The theory is you start shrinking in the center working
out to force out all the air bubbles and you get a totally sealed
joint.

Sounds like it might be worth a try.
