Hiya, Walt --
There are 2 tapes - Super 33+ and Super 88; 88 is about 20% thicker but
they have the same properties. Any electrical supply store or electronic
distributer that handles Scotch products will probably have them. They're
$3-4 per roll but worth it. Do yourself a favor and don't use the "10 rolls
for $1.99" hardware store specials.
>I know Scotch makes a "self-annealing" tape but I can't seem to find it
anywhere in >Northern new Jersey. Does anyone know the Scotch part # for
this tape, too?
3M has a number of products in this line and I don't have the catalog.
The phone number I have is an old one so I'll try to get you a number you
can call to get additional product info.
>Let's see if I have this right: You apply a total of 5 layers of tape over
the joint?
Well, four is usually sufficient but I was giving the Andrew spec. This
is an bomb-proof, highly reliable industrial-standard weatherproofing
technique.
That's what you want in your tower and antenna system, don't you?
73 and good luck, Steve K7LXC
