[chbot] Filler for waterproofing temp sensors

[Charles Manning]

I have used epoxy and wax before. A lot depends on how waterproof and how
durable you want to achieve. You could also use that liquid electrical tape
stuff.
Not all epoxies are waterproof for a long period underwater. Also consider
that some materials are insulating and slow down the readings.
