[TowerTalk] Sealing Coax Connector

[Michael Germino]

I use electrical tape first. One revolution, then twist it over and cover the connector with the sticky side away from the connector.  Then I put the coax seal on, making sure it goes past the tape.  Lastly I use electrical tape to cover the Coax seal.  No sticky mess on the connector when you remove everything.
