Home Depot and Lowes sell fusion tape in the electrical section by the
electrical tape. I have also found a similar product to what SteppIR used
at Walmart of all places in their hardware section. I forgot what they
called it.

I was so impressed with the fusion tape that came with the SteppIR that I
looked into purchasing more. Apparently SteppIR will sell some. I also
found that it is apparently available as "Tommy Tape", but my inquiry to
them went unanswered. There are also some other sources of fusion tape on
the Internet.
Caution: Note that NI1N had to take his SteppIR down for repair after a
period of time and did not find the tape holding up as well as expected.
Maybe the tape isn't as good as we think, but maybe it is. Check for
yourself.

Seems like the same as the fusion tape I use, which is the same as used on
SteppIR tube joints.

I've seen references to both butyl tape and silicone tape for sealing coax
connectors. Both appear to be more or less permanently self-fusing. Is one
material better than the other?
I stumbled across this stuff .... http://www.rescuetape.com/index.html
.... they sound kind of like the marketing shills you see on late night TV
but maybe it would work. Anyone ever try it?
