[TowerTalk] Regarding the TXYLAN coating.

[Michael L. Pellerin]

I just exchanged messages with John Hilmer, Chief Engineer at Telewave. The TXYLAN coating is applied using a rather detailed bake on process and there really is not any such thing as a repair kit or field applicable TXYLAN coating. He suggested a high quality black enamel paint as both the repair product to use in the case of scrapes and knicks to an existing Telewave antenna as well as a coating that might help an otherwise bare aluminum element. That's it from here. 

Best regards.
