I've restored radomes on several Stationmaster type antennas that have started to unravel by applying a generous coat of Wal Mart exterior latex semi-gloss white. Have held up for 5-6 years now in the Aridzona desert.

There is no gel-coat left on it at all. I got the three screws around the perimiter of the mounting tube (aluminum) out, I found a stainless set screw in the copper tip. I also found three 7/16" hex head bolts around the perimiter of the RF connector. It appears that there is some sort of rubber bladder inside the mounting tube as well. Any clus, tips, ideas or suggestions so we can see what the internals look like before we go to the trouble of re-gelling it?
