Scotch 130-C tape

[HENRYPOL at aol.com]

Based on the recent postings about sealing coax/hardline connections, I
contacted my local electrical supply warehouse (the ones the commecial guys
use) and found that the Scotch 130-C linerless rubber splicing tape was $14+
for a 3/4 inch x 30ft length.  So, I decided to wait and just buy a package
of Coax-Seal at the next hamfest, and ad 130-C to the list of things to buy
after the Publisher's Clearing House guy leaves.

Last night, I was in my local Home Depot and found it selling for $5.88 per
roll.  The people working the shelves in the store did not even know that
they had it.  I had just picked up a spare roll of Scotch 88 and looked up to
see what the cheaper tapes looked like and saw the 130-C logo on the box.

Sometime it pays to take the time to look around on the shelves versus just
asking one of the helpful store employees!
