I used a 2 part epoxy from Home Depot, the kind in the double syringe. After I soldered the sensor to the cable and used small heat shrink tubes to seal and insulate them. Then I sealed the gap between the leads with silicone. Then I slid a heat shrink tube over the cable and just barely over the bottom of the sensor. For a mold, I drilled a hole between 2 pieces of 2x4. Then I made a big mistake and just filled the hole with the 2 part and shoved the sensor on in, so the epoxy covers the sensor and some of the cable. Had a heck of a time separating the 2x4s though. Eventually I did and scraped the wood off the hardened epoxy Next time I'll use some kind of release agent, or spend some more time removing the stuck on wood. I did this almost 2 years ago. It's still in my tank.
