hi

Was going to make a center fed dipole, and wanted to put some (non
vinigar/acetic acid) Silicon goo on the center to waterproof.



Just wondering if this is typically 'ok' for full legal limit?


wasn't really sure if there would be arc over/breakdown or other
issues

Some of the non-acetic cure silcones are water based, and do not make
good insulators for some days after application... so in that case, apply
them well before you intend using them, and don't adjust the antenna
until the sealant has cured.

In my experience, those sealants have not degraded when they become wet
in service, so it appears a temporary issue until they cure.
