ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A splice between at least two multi-wire electric cables is protected from ingress of water by forming a com- pressible reservoir about the splice, the reservoir being formed by a plastic film which is sufficiently strong to support the weight of the liquid sealant and capable of containing the liquid sealant while pressure is applied to the outer walls of the reservoir to force the reservoir to assume a smaller volume thereby applying pressure on the liquid sealant; and a support means comprising a porous liner adhered to the inside surface of the reservoir which liner does not interfere with compression of the reservoir, filling the reservoir with a curable liquid sealant, compressing the reservoir to force the liquid sealant to penetrate into the interstices between the individual wires of the splice bundle and into the adjacent cable core and maintain- ing the reservoir under compression at least for a time suffi- cient for the sealant to cure.
