Will this tape work for sealing/WATER PROOFING electrical connections (extension cord plug ins) for outdoor lighting decorations?

It should be adequate for temporarily protecting an outdoor electrical outlet from rain and snow, but not total immersion. I would not trust it to remain safe for more than a month though.

I'm not sure how you intend to do it, but it might possibly work. However, this is very thick and not a "temporary" tape that you wrap and later remove, if the decorations are only seasonal (like Christmas lights for example). And note that this is more than $1.00 per foot - it's expensive. If you're talking about a relatively permanent situation and intend to completely wrap the connection between two cords, for example, I suspect it would work well. Just know you're in for a job to separate them later on.

Yes. I actually ordered this for outdoor application. Just make sure your terminals are weather-sealed.

Yes, I did use an outdoor extension cord with it. However, I also bought a water tight cord lock cover to protect the connection. See link below:Farm Innovators Model CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock - Green

If you are trying to find out, if this could be used in the RAIN? the answer io NO! all OUTDOOR electrical related items, have to seal so that no water gets into the electrical connection.... this item is not set up for that.... but if you are looking to use it in a DRY outdoor event.... you will be fine!

I don't think it's designed for outdoor use, if you are using a totally waterproof outlet cover it would probably work OK.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about the answers to your questions. You may want to find the model number & contact the manufacturer. My guess is that the tape is not waterproof.

You can certainly use these connectors for outdoor fixtures if the socket and wires are protected from the elements within an approved fixture. Neither the socket nor the wires are weather protected. They cannot be exposed to water, and I suspect if they were exposed to sunlight the UV would deteriorate them relatively quickly.

Yes, that's what I was using it for - as uplighting on some trees in the backyard. But unfortunately I had to return it because rain water accumulated inside the bulb and it shorted out. Whether that was due to the socket fixture not fitting well, the rubber seal not being tight enough or some other reason - I don't really know.

I would not think so. It is an excellent electrical tape but not for that. HOWEVER, I do have a suggestion. Go to Home Depot and get Teflon thread tape. Remove the cap, wrap the tape around the threads and then screw the cap back on with the Teflon tape in place. That has always worked for me.

The question is a good one,but from my use as a gutter guard adhesive,it worked well,even in hot sun. The thickness is approximately,one eighth inch or less,but flattens out under pressure and yes it is foam,but very dense. I would not worry if your lighting is led,since it does not produce much heat,but if subjected to heat around exhaust or engine area it may not hold as well. Your question did not give where the tape would be used. Hope this helps,but you should know that if you do use it that you should put pressure on it at least for a few hours to make sure of the hold,I learned that from the first use failing. Good luck,I think you will like the product it really is great stuff. Sincerely M.J.L.

Gary, the only anwser I have is by experience. I used this tape to hold up the bezel around my porch light. All was fine until winter, it fell down. That said, this is some sticky stuff. Good luck. (Staple Gun ?)

It's a spray paint, I didn't personally try it outside, but I see no reason it wouldn't work. I would consider a clear sealer to apply after the glow in the dark, just to be safe

yes, cord is water resistant, but if your power supply connection will be exposed to elements then you might want to wrap it in electrical tape. I have it mounted outdoors under roof eves and its fine

We used it for some of our old time Christmas Decorations. It works great. Typically we wrap the connecting cords with electrical tape just to be safe.

Probably YES is your answer with NO guarantees, since I have never used an epoxy to cover ANY type of circuits. I HAVE HOWEVER, used a SILICONE SEALANT (marine grade) also available through AMAZON, to cover AND seal electrical circuits on several watercraft I have owned over the years. ALL with great success. The beauty of the silicone is that it dries clear and can easily be removed while the epoxy dries to an amber hue and is almost impossible to remove. Once it dries, it's there forever. MY suggestion is use a marine grade (waterproof) silicone sealant. GOOD LUCK!

Not really. The tape bonds to itself so by pulling it tight you can use it to seal a hole in a pipe or wrap a hose. It isn't an adhesive tape per se.

I wouldn't recommend spraying it on an electrical connection it's main purpose is to change the appearance of things and provide some physical protection but i doubt if it's good enough to prevent moisture and water from getting into a connector
