Dan, I recently put a satellite dish on my shop and I just used some 3M weather proof tape and sealed over the top of it with silicon sealer.

A while back, I did some wire cleanup on my house. The installers had run TV cable, and phone lines all over the back and sides of the house. I pulled everything down, and ran a single line for each, down the back of the house, into the basement, and then fished them up through the walls so they weren't uglying up the outside of the house. Well, yesterday, I pulled the lines out and ran them through some PVC conduit, to protect them a bit better and give it a slightly cleaner look. The question is, what do I use to seal up the end of the PVC pipe to keep water from running down inside? I wanted to put a 180 degree bend at the top so that the open end would be pointing down, but being essentially a plumbing job, it guaranteed that I would not have enough pieces to actually do that. Being impatient, I just ended up with a 90 degree bend at the top. So, water could run down the wires and following them, drip down the inside of the conduit. Is there some kind of putty or something I can use to seal up the end around the wires? Can I just squeeze in a ton of silicon or is there something better? Thanks. -- Blue skies.
