RE: [TCML] Should I repot this NST?

Thanks for feedback.

I did notice one bare wire running along the top of the tar (visible in one of the pics). I haven't tested this to see where it comes out, should I be concerned about it?
I was thinking of melting some wax and pouring a thin layer over the top to hold everything together, bad idea?
