Bill,
Get a tube (for your calking gun, if you prefer) of silicone sealer at your local builder's supply store. It will seal this connection, and can be cut away later if needed. I would tape over the metal connections at the antenna itself first, as the vinegar in the silicone can corrode those connections. The silicone will fill the void between the braid of the coax and its outer jacket far better than anything else I have tried.

Thanks to all who responded to my question about "Krylon". I chose the coax
seal for that problem.
I have another situation this time it's with the Hustler 6-BTV Vertical I
just purchased and am assembling. The connection to this antenna is by
opening the end of the coax, about 2 inches, and making two leads, one with
the braid and one with the center lead. They are then soldered to two
lugs(supplied) and then srewed to the bottom of the vertical. It seems the
only way I can weather protect this connection is with the Acrylic Plastic
spray someone suggested. Any other thoughts?
Thanks for any help,
Bill Ellis, WB9CAC [EMAIL PROTECTED]
