I swear by this stuff (and Scotch 33+)

Ditto... this is my coax and connector sealer of choice the last 5+ years.
Much easier to remove, too, than "Coax Seal".

Hi Brian,

I've only found one local (Seattle area) source for this, and it is at a
smallish hardware store chain called McClendons. All the old-timer
contractors go there, and they have nuts, bolts, and do-dads that the big
chain stores (Lowes, Home Depot) do not carry.

I suggest checking around at the hardware and electrical supply stores in
your area that are known to carry a larger stock of items for electricians.
This 3M brand "putty" tape is also called "rubber tape" in some circles. It
likes to be stretched as you apply it, and you get about 1/3 more coverage
due to the stretching. Once you try it, you'll be hooked. I've been
impressed with the condition of antenna connections that have been covered
1-2 years with this stuff, even after rugged weather extremes. The only
thing it doesn't seem to like is constant exposure to bright sunlight... I
notice it starts to weather faster in the summer, and develop little tears
and pinholes on the outer layer. The solution, though, is to just use ample
wraps so that the layers beneath are "fresh".

You can probably find this 3M tape on the internet, too.

73, Guy

Put a wrap of 33+ outside the putty. Keeps it fresh as a daisy.

Go to Hardware store and buy GOOP sealant/cement...dies to hard rubber

yodar

The people that make shoe goo make an allied group of cements and
sealants. one of which is UV rated for marine use I think it is called
marine Goop.

I use Plumber's Goop as a cement and sealant on my mashtun and
electrical parts

It hardens in 12 hour is excellent
