Yes, I agree. Scotch 33+ is the only way to go. I have been
using it for years.
Outdoor coaxial cable connections, I cover the Scotch 33+ with
two layers of Scotchkote - a sticky substance that comes in a
can with a brush.

In my opinion, the best description of how to seal outdoor
coaxial cable connections is found here.
