[TowerTalk] STUF Weather Proofing compound...

[Gary "Joe" Mayfield]

I kind of like the cold shrink tape.......  I have avoided the gooey putty
stuff.  To be honest has anyone really had connector weatherproofing issues?
I used to go through a long drawn out process, but have learned that if I
take a little time to cover the connector and where the connector and coax
meet plus not have any wrinkles to let water in just about anything works.
The cold shrink / rescue tape works well and comes off easy.  I have had
good luck with just electrical tape with a little PVC cement brushed on the
outside.  We do have a little weather here in South Dakota, but my
experience says this is any area where folks are very prone to
over-think/over-engineer the solution.

I did have some "hamfest special" tape fail in about 12 hours once.  It
simply quit being sticky altogether.  It just came off where it had been put
on.
