[TowerTalk] Liquid Electrical Tape?

[Robert Harmon]

Jon,

Thanks for sharing the info on the 2228.  It looks like great stuff.  This thread is very timely for me I will be installing new coax feedlines.
I will order some of the 2228 and see how it goes.  

I also have tried Scotchkote and it failed for me too.  

73,
Bob
