Default Potecting swage entry point

Is there any anti-corrosion or waterproofing material that can be used where 1x19 ss wire enters swage fittings that will protect against corrosion or prevent water entry?

Never mind - I just found this which answers my question...

Default Maybe not

Swage sealing, like Sta-Lok sealing, needs to be done before assembly. And with swages the jury is currently out on how the presence of sealant might affect ultimate strength. In any event, adding any kind of sealant to a swage after it has been applied, in hopes of keeping water out, is a lost cause.
Fair leads,
