Those are the ones I dump Vinyl Ester Resin , or epoxy into.  Never had 
one pull off since I started doing that.

I learned to install N connectors in the military as that is what all the UHF & SHF stuff used, and still prefer putting an N on than a PL-259 any day.  BTW: the HF & VHF all had BNCs and I prefer those over PL-259s also.
