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.

Another good potting solution is the dip they sell for doing tool handles. Mask off the connector and do multiple dips and you not only pot the connectors but you build up a strain relief on the wires as well. FWIW.
