Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Sealing Coax Connector
For years I have been using plain old hardware store duct seal. Comes in
big 1lb blocks for about $2, less than a roll of that other stuff. It comes
off much easier even after years of being on a connector. I usually just
squish a big handful of it on the joint then add a layer of electrical tape
outside to protect it from the sun and further push it in to the joint.
