We used to get 3M heat shrink tubing with glue/sealant inside.  I never had

is too small.

If you want to seal it, squirt some 100% silicone up in the tube before you
shrink it.  Hit it with the heat, and wipe away the excess.  Easy peasy,
wirey squeezy.

Looking at it further, how does the mold ensure that the splice connector
is completely surrounded by sealant?  Any method of holding the splice
could also leave an opening to the metal portion, I'm thinking.  Or
overthinking?
