I use Mastick to seal the capper. It comes in rolls and is sticky and pliable
so it will conform to the shape of whatever it is applied to. Since it
does not dry out, it continues to seal long after some other stuff one might
use.
It is commonly used to seal corrugated roofing panels where they overlap.
