First I slip on the silicone o-ring.
I solder the Weather Pack pins onto the wire. Coat the pins in silicone grease and grease the o-ring. So when things are assembled, every bit of metal is overlaid with silicone grease.
If I want to get carried away, I slop on heavy duty silicone spray lube over the joined connector pair.
I'm lazy. As far as I'm concerned "repair work" means 7-year old work is like it happened "yesterday". But I use the convenient and politically correct excuse that lazily performed work that "fails too soon"is environmentally unconscionable landfill fodder. Waste of resources. Contributes to Global Climate Motormouth.
