So clearly araldite is not good with water. In squirrel it don't matter, cause it's still filling the leak points and is not working as structural support.

Silicone is not as bad as you may think; when aplied over a very clean and degreased surface it can be a very good adhesive.

The epoxy I use for waterproof aplication is the one used for fiber impregnation on reinforced plastics. Unfortunately the smallest quantity usually sold is 1 Kg and has a shelf life of about a year, maybe two. Not very practical if you need it only to bond small parts. :shrug:
