Don,
I've found the best way to repair common coax with the typical PVC jacket is to
use hardware store PVC pipe cement. Use the clear stuff and paint on a couple
coats. It will adhear to the PVC jacket and make the patch waterproof. The glue
is sensitive to UV, so warp it with electricians tape after it dries. I've had
coax buried for years with this type of patch without a problem.
Don't try this with jackets that are not PVC. Plenum rated coax cables are
sometimes polyethelyne material and the PVC cement won't stick to it. Likewise
the teflon dielectric cables.
