I have not tried hot glue however I have trouble with other waterproofing
products that I use sticking to Teflon coax and I do not have grease or oily
finger prints on it.

The answer for the hot melt glue not adhering is simple foreign material. A
fingerprint, lube used to flood connectors, or just plain skin oil/sweat
will prevent hot melt glue, or tape from forming a good mechanical
connection. This is a place where cleanliness is important.
For good adhesion whether tape or hot melt glue, the connectors and coax
must be clean. The tape and/or the hot melt glue must adhere with no voids
