[TowerTalk] Bye bye CoaxSeal...

[KC4HW]

I will share this....  about 7 years ago while living on the East Coast of 
Florida, I sealed a coax connection with a wrap of 3M #33 tape and then 
wrap the #33 with a wrap of rubberized tape (no adhesive).  It streaches as 
it is wrap on the connection.  A couple of years ago, when I moved, the 
connection was undone and the connectors were just as clean and shiney 
as the day I put them up there.  

You can find that rubberized tape at any electrical supply house.
