OLD TRICk is make the first layer of the tape sticky side up and smooth
side down on the first layer. Helps keeps down the mess.
Like ON4UN said you can flood it with the Jelly, problem is it does dry
out, and when it does then you have problems. It takes a few years to dry
out.
Anti-seize is very messy hard to clean up, you have to be very careful what
you touch, the stuff is conductive. Not a good idea to flood this stuff on
the inside of the connector. NOT RECOMMENDED.
FYI: Topic as it started out is on a receive antenna connections not a
transmit antenna. Connectors were corroded and thought varmints ate the
cable.
Like anything else, cable and connections must be maintained. Frequency of
the maintenance depends on what you use, and the quality of the product,
availability of the product needed, and how soon you want it fixed.
Whats the right way of doing it? Depends on your time and what it is worth
to you, how deep your pocket book is, and is it really worth the effort and
replace every thing.
