If you have an industrial supply house nearby, you might get a tube of 
DowCorning silicon, DC-4 and DC-111 come to 
mind.  It is waterproof and has good electrical qualities.  We brush it on just 
about any outside connections.  I 
don't know anything that will remove it, including lacquer thinner ;-)  

Hope they still make it, just realized my tube is 30 years old, it has an 
expiration date of 7/75. (The exp date is 
because some{a drop} clear fluid will separate out if it sets around.)  There 
is a whole family of products that 
seem to be the same ;-)  Pick one rated for- waterproof, electrical, and food 
equipment.

Careful with the filled buried cable, most has an insecticide in it.
