Thanks guys. Lot's of options.

It works great! It takes a little getting used to & you'll want a different brush than the one in the can.  The one in the can is always too stiff...

Anyhow, I've used this to protect a few projects & even when I was too lazy to solder some wires together... Just twist really tight & smother with "liquid electrical tape". Haven't had a problem yet.

I'll second that, liquid electrical tape is some good stuff.  I use it alot on different things that are just not suitable for heat shrink wrap and it works fine.  Always good stuff to keep around just in case.

what about globs of hot glue?

This is pretty good stuff:

I've used it before in industrial applications.
