A little while back there was a bit of a thread on filling antenna matching transformer boxes with something to waterproof them. I think I suggested automotive silicone seal. Found something today that I think will be better..
While waiting for my wife to find something at a local hobby store (Michael's), I found a product called casting resin. This is a two part epoxy used to envelop items in a liquid plastic that cures to a plexiglas type material. I think we've all seen dollar bills in plastic, among other things. This is the stuff. I bought a 16oz can of the resin and the accompanying catalyst. Twenty bucks. Looks easy to mix and use. Sometime this weekend I'll mix up a paper cup full of the stuff and pour it into one of the splitters I've made. This should completely waterproof the thing as well as making it physically much stronger. The epoxy should be non-corrosive as well. I'll take some photos and write up an article, if I get some time.
