Overall project is building my own 6-outlet extension cord for a generator. I’d like for it to be waterproof/weatherproof. Bought some pieces today at Lowe’s, ordered the rest from Amazon.
The box and cover are advertised as weatherproof, as are the outlets. I’ll have the plugs in the unused holes. That leaves me with entry point of the wire going into the box.
So, what’s the best way to seal this up:

I’ve been looking for other solutions and came across this:
Any other ideas or experience(s) you can share?
