1) Sounds like they want heat shrink or liquid sealer applied. What is the application?

2) Resin splices uses mechanical and chemical means to ensure that the splice is watertight. From 3M:
Product Description
Molded resin splice kits have a shell that clamps around connections and an epoxy that pours into it that molds around conductors to create a permanent, airtight hold that protects the connection from water, abrasion, and corrosion damage. These kits install without special tools and support a wide range of cable sizes.
