Rob,
That would probably be an instance where I'd use Tanis' rubberized 
electrician's splicing tape, and I might give the old wax toilet ring 
gasket a try as a sealant.
I first tried one(the toilet gasket) at a grafting demonstration I 
put on for the local Master Gardeners class last year - it's 
relatively easy to work with, doesn't require heating, but it is 
sticky, and might, like Karen's beeswax/rosin/linseed oil product, be 
a bit easier to work with if you oiled your hands to keep it from 
sticking to them.
