Default Liquid Tape

I have a can in the locker and use it once in awhile to touch up crimp on connectors that are not the heat shrink type. My preference is either Ancor or Vertex terminals with the adhesive heat shrink for new work. The liquid tape is useful for touching up nicks in exiting wiring. On my last major boat rewiring project, I coated all the terminal strip connections once everything was finished to keep moisture out. Jury is still out on the value of that experiment. I'm not sure about its dielectric value, as heat shrink is my choice where that is a requirement.
I use a different brand, but its likely the same. Be warned, it doesn't last forever and will eventually set up in the can.
Not sure if this helps any, but my experience is based on marine use where everything seems to get wet sooner or later.
