I'm just about to put up a Glen Martin 1850 (18 inches on a side - 50 ft
high) - does anyone have any tips I should know about?  Also other
questions -

They specify 100-175 pounds tension on the guys, how can I guess at that
tension?  It uses kevlar guys (doesn't say Phillystran, but I would
guess it's similar) rated at 2100 lbs.

Has anyone tried Stuf - a "dielectric water proofing filler". You
squeeze some into the connector and assemble it, it's supposed to fill
all the voids so water can't get in.  Does it really work and how much
of a mess does it make?
