Topband: RG6 connectors and installation

[Ed Stallman]

I'm going to replace all F connectors on my Gel coated CommScope Flooded 
RG6 coax. This is on my YCCC RX 9 Circle .  and is a intermittent 
problem ,  I have a few questions in hope to do them correctly this time .

I see the big box store sell a double O Ring Connector . Do these look 
like a reliable connector ?

I have the 1/4 1/4 coax stripper and a good Klein crimper and have 
watched YouTube showing how to fit the connector to the Coax . Look to 
me like their simply pushing them to the right depth and crimping. Is 
the more to it then that ?

After stripping with the 1/4 1/4 stripper , Should I remove the sticky 
Gel from the braid of the  flooded RG6 before applying the connector ? 
If so what do you use to remove the Gel ?  I didn't do this last time , 
my be my problem ?

All RG6 is under ground in 3/4" PVC with weather heads , the coax could 
be replaced if needed. I tested for open or shorts all tested good with VOM

Thanks Ed N5DG
