RE: Fluid filled damping of cables

My initial thoughts were as follows:

1. start with a hose of some material (TBD), possibly teflon, as the exterior
2. machine a plug that will accomodate the + and - wires. the plug would fit tightly around the + / - wires and be a snug fit into the hose.
3. use 4 : 1 adhesive shrink wrap on the outside of the hose and where the wires come out. Hopefully the 4 : 1 shrink wrap will tighten up any gaps between the OD of the plug and the ID of the hose.
4. use hot glue to fill the remaining air gap between the 4 : 1 shrink wrap and the wires.

This gives a double layer of protection. The machined plug might not be necessary (TBD).

The damping liquid is 300,000 cST. I can go even higher, but it would be more difficult to fill the hose with liquid.

So, what do you think?
