I would use Liquid Electrical Tape to cover antenna connections. I
currently use it on my vertical, and recently had to remove it. Very
easy to remove the bulk of it, but sometimes a little thin layer
still remains. It stood up to some of the colder (not, thanks to El
Nino,) Chicago temps, and a lot of heat and sun. Works great, and
certainly would pass it on to people. Throw the coax seal in the
garbage, or use it as a putty toy.
