The present invention provides a method of reentering and reclosing a cable splice case enclosing a splice between first and second cables and comprising a wrap-around sleeve and a closure channel, the sleeve having opposing longitudinal edge portions, each bearing a rail, the edge portions having been brought together around the splice such that the rails are adjacent one another and the closure channel being posi- tioned over the adjacent rails, which method comprises: (a) removing a portion of the sleeve from the splice, leaving an end portion of the sleeve attached to the first cable; (b) removing a portion of the channel from the rails of the remaining portion; (c) positioning over the rails of the end portion at a position where the portion of channel has been removed a hot-melt adhesive plug, the plug having a recess for receipt of the rails; (d) positioning a heat-shrinkable reclosure sleeve around the splice, the reclosure sleeve extending from the adhesive plug at the end portion; and (e) heating to cause the reclosure sleeve to shrink into engagement with the end portion and to cause the plug to soften and form a seal.
