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!

Sorry, I don't buy off the self, I homebrew, but maybe check the Cushcraft
website. http://www.cushcraft.com/amateur/thumbs.asp

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.

You couldn't homebrew toast. We should start calling you hemmoroid
because you're such a pain in the ass!!
