GE silicon Kitchen & Bath sealant from the hardware store.
Bob k5qwg I had never thought of using that, seems like some good stuff. How about corrosive properties? Is there any? I know the old RTV we had in the Navy was quite popular too, but found to be corrosive later. Thanks -- Rick N7HJ Everett, Washington Remove THREAD to reply. |

Most all the RTVs have an acid in them, GE makes one that is safe for
electronics, no acid. Best stuff is that black tar like stuff that comes with a paper backing that comes with the bigger connectors called Vapor Wrap by Decibel Products. Put on over the entire connector and part of the coax, then tape it up and black tie wraps to keep the tape on. Good for 10+ years. It is what the Commercial guys use. "R. Scott" wrote in message ...

also called VAPOR-BLOC
Try searching on Google for them, should find it comes in squares about 4 by 5 inches or so. I don't think they have it at the ham stores. "R. Scott" wrote in message ...
