[TowerTalk] Sealing Ends of Phillystran HPTG-1200

Thank you for the quick replies. Since we had rain forecast for today, I went out last night and sealed them with liquid electrical tape I keep on hand. Seemed to work very well. This morning I see someone else offered the same solution. 

Thanks again!!
