This is the same stuff that STEPPIR supplies with their antennas. AND it
does work great. You can also find it in BLACK under another name, in the
plumbing department at HOME DEPOT. Sells for about $9 per roll give or
take. That being said, some guys at hamfests sell it. Some are dealers who
sell imported power cables, connectors, quick disconnects, etc. LOOK
CLOSELY...what I have seen these guys do is to run off HALF of the roll, and
sell it for the same price as found in the stores, on eBay, or other
sources. I think a roll is supposed to have 12ft. from Rescue Tape.
Sometimes it is called "Tommy Tape" or other names. But it is a self fusing
tape. Stretch it while wrapping your connectors, etc. It really seals

For outdoor waterproofing of RG-8 connections, I use Rescue Tape.

. For me it works like a champ. Easy on, easy off (with a gentle razor-blade
cut). After years, everything inside is bright and shiny. If there is a
downside to this stuff, I haven't found it.
