Typically, I apply the flooded 3-M heat shrink directly over the
connector
and out onto the coax for several inches.
http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/connectors.htm Applying tape over
the
connector part would certainly make it easier to get apart. Without the
tape it's pretty much a permanent connection you'll probably throw away
if
you take it apart.
