I use electrical tape first. One revolution, then twist it over and cover the
connector with the sticky side away from the connector. Then I put the coax
seal on, making sure it goes past the tape. Lastly I use electrical tape to
cover the Coax seal. No sticky mess on the connector when you remove
everything.
