So how do you guys seal your outside coax ?

GE silicon Kitchen & Bath sealant from the hardware store.

Not considered a good choice,If it smells of vineger then I would stay away
from it.There are better choices, consult a Ham Antenna book.

It's been sealing the coax attached to my j-pole -- no degradation I
can see in being used outside for 6 months.

Of course, one can use that black, sticky coax wrap that's available
from the ham stores and such, but the Kitchen & Bath silicon acrylic
stuff that dries clear (Max 5000 by GE) does fine for down and dirty
projects.
