Splice kits and methods of environmentally sealing spliced electrical conductors are provided wherein exposure to sealant material can be eliminated. A sealed, flexible container, such as a bag, is provided that contains a two-part liquid sealant. Each portion of the two-part sealant is maintained within respective compartments of the sealed, flexible bag via a removable divider or other device. Prior to use, the divider is removed and the respective portions of the two-part sealant are mixed together by squeezing the sealed, flexible bag to produce a flowable, uncured sealant. The sealed, flexible bag is applied to an electrical conductor splice. The electrical conductor splice and sealed, flexible bag are then covered with heat shrinkable material. Heat is applied at a temperature sufficient to shrink the heat shrinkable material to a secure fit around the electrical conductor splice and to cause the sealed, flexible bag to at least partially melt and release the flowable, uncured sealant onto the electrical conductor splice. The sealant cures to provide structural support and environmental protection. |
