One of my colleagues suggested that approach.  I haven't ruled it out.

If it were me I would just splice on a pigtail and put a splice chip double side taped to the inside like these.

    Subject: [AFMUG] Drop Termination Closures

    Commscope and Multilink both make aerial closures like this.

    Even if I take 10 minutes to put a connector on the cable, that's
    still
    faster than taking a closure off the strand, bringing it down into
    your
    truck/trailer, break the seal, fusion splice, reseal, rehang,
    re-tie the
    slack.

    They intend for you to use preterminated cables, but I think that
    has to
    come with a lot of waste so I'm not 100% sold on that. That's why I'm
    experimenting with terminations on drop cables.

    I suppose I seek comment on both the termination process and also
    whether this is a stupid idea to start with.
