Hello All
  I have a cushcraft R5. I purchased this at a flea market.  I have it all 
cleaned up ready to put it together.  But one last step remains.  The traps.
  I took the capacitor clamp arms off one at a time and cleaned the aluminum 
with steel wool and replaced the stainless bolts etc. This one had the sealant 
used by Cushcraft under the Black shrink tubing also under the capacitor clamps 
too.  I cleaned this away, and reinstalled the clamps. The black shrink 
covering is OK.
   
  I need a sealant to put on the ends of the black shrink tubing to weather 
proof it.  I was thinking of Duco glue which I have.  Maybe you got a better 
idea.  If it works and has been proven in the weather so much the better.
