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.

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

Where might i find it, No local ham stores around here anymore? Is it
available elsewhere.

Thanks

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.
