[MRCA] Homemade connector sealant query

[B. Smith]

     Use standard epoxy, do not use quick setting.   Use Vaseline and 
cardboard to keep the epoxy from sticking.
Mix the epoxy and then heat for20-30 seconds and it will pour like 
water.Use brass tubing or rods from K&S metals for the pins. It is 
available in metric or US measurements.
