The various forms of expandable foam are easier to use, and to me work

Altho, these may be easier to use than dux seal, beware- if the stuff
smells like Vinagar (as in
Ascetic acid) , you may be contaminateing your coax, as is my
understanding. And, MOST RTV's
have this feature (contaminateing your coax)!
Not a good situation! as info, Jim NN7K

Not usually a problem when going through a wall unless the outer insulation
is broken, but RTV is not may favorite for this. Plain old caulk works great
unless you have a big void to fill.
