The sheathing on some wiring was cut and has now exposed some very fine wiring on a boat wire that will be exposed to water. Luckily, the wiring itself was not cut and the piece of equipment still works. On each end of the wire, there is something that a piece of shrink tubing can not fit over to slide it to where the exposed wiring/cut sheathing is. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to successfully waterproof these exposed wires? Thanks.
