I used liquid electrical tape several times. I would prefer to use shrink tubing when making a splice. The liquid tape has a not so nice odor that stinks up the room and smells like PVC pipe glue with the same consistancy. After the first several times I used it the contents dried up (it was sealed tight) and I had to throw it away. It is not only sold by Micro-Mark and is available in hardware stores, Lowes and Home Depot. It does take time to setup and dry. I never tried to remove it but I wouldn't reheat it unless it was outdoors.
With shrink tubing you have to remember to slide it on before you solder. There is another product called shrink tape incase you forget to put the tubing on first although i've never used it.
Mike,
I was ready to buy that product to cover the solder joints on an LED that I wired into a Model Power signal, but I never did.
I will be anxious to read the replies to your question.

I just got a bottle of this stuff from Micro-Mark, but have not used it yet. The question is: After I've soldered two wires together and covered the splice with the stuff, what happens if I need to un-solder it. Does it peel off so I can heat the solder joint to seperate it? Will I have to melt it and the solder to get the wires apart? Anybody have experience with this?
