Basically it's builders silicone mixed with corn flour about 50/50.There are other recipes with builders silicone & baby powder.My thought was to pot wires inside a suitable bronze or SS threaded fitting & encase the electrical sheathing where it enters the fitting with straight silicone.Then when hardened, cast the silicone / corn flour mix over the top to tidy it up.The simple recipe may have a lot of other applications.Cheers Alan
