I'm a big fan of rescue tape too. No adhesive and cuts away very easily with a sharp blade.Home Depot sells a version:Nashua Tape 1 in. x 3.33 yd.

It stretches around that PL-259 to seal it up and sticks to itself rather than to the connector. Be careful because you won’t be able to unwind it but will peak away when cut it with a knife. And being a plumbing product it will seal to water. It comes in colors. I use it for all my outdoor connections. Good stuff!And I have wondered about those Flex Seal products we see on TV.On Wed, Jul 15, 2020 at 20:09 Gary K9GS <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Doug,I've never done this but why not take a PL259, fill it with RTV or epoxy, let cure, install on the SO239, and then weatherproof like you would normally do?73,Gary K9GS -------- Original message --------From: Doug Daniels <[email protected]> Date: 7/15/20 4:04 PM (GMT-06:00) To: Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Subject: [Elecraft] Waterproof SO-239 covers I just built a window antenna feedthrough panel, and want some waterproofcovers for the unused bulkhead connectors.
