JB Weld Waterweld and/or Loctite repair epoxy for dipole insulators??
Thanks to all. I decided not to use the Waterweld due to the uncertainties.
I tried to use what coax seal I had left since Radio Shack no longer sells it and I lacked time to get more, so what coax seal didn't seal I covered with electrical tape followed by a couple of coats of liquid electrical tape. I think my original question here was a little misleading. I really wasn't needing a support insulator, but a proper seal. I was building a folded gain dipole for 20 meters out of 300 ohm twin lead, so the ends had to be sealed as well as the two center places where the beams connect.

I have used this two part hand moldable epoxy for various indoor projects and have met with success on a number of occasions. I am now preparing to erect a dipole and I am wondering how well this epoxy would work for the center/ end insulators? My main concerns are UV, weathering and of course longitudinal strength. Anyone have experiences/ recommendations they can share? Thank you. These are cheap enough, eh? http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/antsup/3720.html |
