I have use it on submersible pump wiring [underwater] for over 15 years without water intrusion or corrosion. It does make very nice whips that will never come unglued, if fact you have to cut it with a knife to get it off.
I know that I am a little off topic but one of the best products I've seen for really sealing up a connection is 3m Cold Shrink. We used to use it to seal electrical barrel connectors on the exposed weather decks on Navy ships and exposed missile canisters. Not cheap, but very effective and actually removable.
