I've got a friend who designs and builds controls for industrial 
equipment.  These often have to survive outside, or in otherwise harsh 
environments.  He likes to pot his stuff in roofing caulk.  Black 
stuff.  Polyurethane based.  Comes in a caulking tube.  Very cheap.  
Very durable.  Sticks like an embarassing nickname.
