[TowerTalk] Liquid Electrical Tape?

[Hank Garretson]

I use Rescue Tape with no problems. Just Rescue Tape.

At 8,000 foot elevation in the Sierra Nevada, we get more UV exposure than
most of you. More snow than most of you. Lots of freezing rain. Lots of
torrential rain. Lots of wind.

I apply Rescue Tape per instructions with the recommended amount of
stretch. It easily conforms to and seals irregularities like barrel splices
and PL259/SO239 connections.

It does not deteriorate. It comes off easily when gently split with an
X-Acto blade. Leaves no residue. Parts underneath are bright and shinny,
even after twelve years (my longest time so far).

Never an issue. I'm a happy camper. Just Rescue Tape, nothing else.

73,

Hank, W6SX
