why would you be using RG-11? much bigger than RG-6 and will be hard
to terminate...

You can purchase heat shrink with the hot melt glue on the inside.
When you shrink the tube (starting at the center and working out) the
hot melt glue coats everything and the tube is much stronger than the
stuff you get at radio shack.

Roger,

Would you be so kind as to provide a source/brand name for the
glue-lined heat shrink tubing you mention above?

It's made by 3M and sold by many electrical supply firms.
The first photo in the link below shows the two types they offer.

The numbers are 800 which is 0.800/0.22", or 20/5/6 mm.
The first number is the diameter "un shrunk" while the second is the
smallest working shrunk diameter.

They also make a 400 which is 0.400/.12", or 10/3.1 mm tube.

These are coated internally with something akin to, or it really is,
hot melt glue.

The price has gone up some, but I think the last I purchased was a bit
over $10 for a 3 foot length of the 800.
