I've been cracking up ever since the thread started. Dunno how anyone else
is holding a straight face.
That said, I'll have to say that I have had no problem with Scotchkote in
the sun. YMMV. I typically use a layer of 33 or 88, followed by a liberal
coating of Scotchkote. After 10 years, they were totally dry and fully
covered. For rough service, I'll double the whole works, but I haven't
really found it necessary. The second layer gets 'cross threaded' and then
coated.
Don't put Scotchkote directly on your connectors. ;o) I did that when I
was learning to use it back in the 70s. It pretty much ruins your ability
to get that connection apart again (but can be done).
