Hi Brian,

I've only found one local (Seattle area) source for this, and it is at a
smallish hardware store chain called McClendons. All the old-timer
contractors go there, and they have nuts, bolts, and do-dads that the big
chain stores (Lowes, Home Depot) do not carry.

I suggest checking around at the hardware and electrical supply stores in
your area that are known to carry a larger stock of items for electricians.
This 3M brand "putty" tape is also called "rubber tape" in some circles. It
likes to be stretched as you apply it, and you get about 1/3 more coverage
due to the stretching. Once you try it, you'll be hooked. I've been
impressed with the condition of antenna connections that have been covered
1-2 years with this stuff, even after rugged weather extremes. The only
thing it doesn't seem to like is constant exposure to bright sunlight... I
notice it starts to weather faster in the summer, and develop little tears
and pinholes on the outer layer. The solution, though, is to just use ample
wraps so that the layers beneath are "fresh".

You can probably find this 3M tape on the internet, too.

73, Guy

Ditto... this is my coax and connector sealer of choice the last 5+
years. Much easier to remove, too, than "Coax Seal".

Guy:
Where do you get the stuff? Home Depot or do you have to order it?
