- Has anyone tried that stuff called "Stuf" that's sold by AES, HRO, etc. as a coax connector filler/sealant? Sounds like you use it just like you would use the silicone grease others have been mention

- RadioWare in Massachusetts (a QST advertiser) carries this stuff. It's not particularly cheap, but it works as advertised. A single connector pair doesn't have a lot of air space, either, so it goes

- Yep, I've been using it for a few years both in CATV systems and my ham feedlines. I haven't found any negatives yet. "Stuf" is white and is formulated with Teflon. It is a little thinner in consist
