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.
