Use Scotchkoat from 3M to seal the antennas but don’t get it on you, it sticks to you as well as it does the antennas. Any one know of any solvents that can be used to remove it?? I have some on some tools and a spot on my car upholstery (I know, I know) Scott Scott Zimmerman

Actually, Goof Off is rather safe on hands, probably more so than acetone. It's like high-strength lighter fluid. Between that, alcohol, and acetone, something will make a dent in Scotchkoat. Yes, Home Depot sells it in various sizes, and it looks just like an old lighter fluid can. It also does
