I am thinking about using silicone tubing for covering the end of a heating element. Is this nuts?
because the idea popped into my head and I just need to figure out if it would work. The image I have in my head is taking a piece of silicone tubing... it would have to be a pretty big diameter... and stretching it over the element end with the wires coming through the tube. Just a short length, a couple inches at most. The fill the thing with epoxy. That would make a solid end on the element that would be water tight.
I will probably wind up with an electric box on it but the notion got me wondering about the silicone's electrical properties.
