Default Cushcraft Antenna Query

Anyone know what Cushcraft uses in their 2 meter and similar antennas to
secure the lower end into their base? It "appears" to be a white
substance. Lots of hot melt glue?

The substance gave way on an antenna I have here and I'd like to repair
it.

Thanks!


Cushcraft did use fiberglass for a number of years. Delrin is used by
other antenna mfg.

I have seen oil impregnated nylons used for some large verticals.

Dont know what I'd do without JB weld.
