Cable Insulation: Using Hot Glue for Underground 230V Fence Gate Power Supply Connection

Hello,
I need to connect two wires buried underground - fence gate power supply (230V). According to art, I should do it in a hermetic can and pour resin for insulation, but first of all I don't have resin, secondly I have never used it and I don't know how to do it, and thirdly it is quite expensive for one-time use.
Hence my question - can you replace the resin with hot glue? That is - I connect the wires with a cube, closed in a box and covered with hot glue. From what I read in this forum, some use epoxy glues or vulcanizing tapes but the use of hot glue seems to me much easier. What do you think about it?

I think that this is a guerrilla, unworthy of the performer.
Secondly, what is the point of laying and then connecting wires in the ground?
Without glue, cans and other inventions and so insulation of wires will go on ....

If the electric cable was laid in the ground in polyethylene insulation with a special moisture-proof layer, there is a chance of repair using RAYCHEM materials.
Otherwise, there is probably no chance of repair.

According to the art, these should be cables, not wires, and as a colleague pointed out elpapiotr it is a guerrilla. I omit the fact that hot glue will "strain" the insulation of the cables with heat.

A can of 200 grams of polyester resin costs 10zeta. And the package has instructions. So it's neither expensive nor difficult to use.

Is polyester really suitable for this purpose?

Could you provide a link where can I find it at this price? When I was juggling, it only found me 100 above

Search under "cable joint" or "cable joint repair kit". You will do well and forget.

Hot glue hates moisture, half a day it would not stand underground.

Only cable joints, as the name implies, are for cables.
However, in the title post there are wires.

The author is hardly able to distinguish between cables and wires, so it doesn't matter what "plugs" the connection, because it will all be dug up after some time ...

Polyester / epoxy resin costs PLN 20-30 per liter, plus the hardener with which the resin is mixed. The instruction is there, all in all it comes down to mixing and pouring and waiting for it to cure. Hot glue is a very bad option, because it will not stick, it will be on the border of the glue with the insulation of the wire (which is different when pouring the whole thing and thin wires stick out), better polyurethane mass, although as expected longevity is such a mass of about 10- 15 years and may have problems with tightness, because it just breaks, we avoid silicones although if the insulation of the cable made of silicone should catch / silicone with acetic acid can negatively affect the durability of the cable. It's all about the materials with which I tried to seal or flood various electronic wonders including oil capacitors for which only polyurethane mass works, because the resins may be okay, they can peel off the housing of such a capacitor and the pudding is made.

He likes water, but the joints do not like it at all, especially from a different material than polyolefins - i.e. plastics such as PE PP, not abs, acrylic, polycarbonate, etc. With oil, it also gives advice, but it is important that the housing and the glue and the elements that come into contact with the glue, and are exposed to the environment of water, oils, etc. were made of polyolefins, because then it is tight, with each other just a micro crack and pouring into agent / or leakage depends on what we do.

You don't need anything because the wires they have no right be in the ground, so there is no way to connect them there.
I close the topic.
