Re: [WISPA] Water sealing in cold weather
Yes, that's the biggest thing is that during our cold weather we've had here the past week or so (0* with -15 wind chills - not a normal thing here in Southern Missouri) our current weather seal methods aren't easy to install. Sure, we could do it inside and would work fine but we get up on a tower in this cold and the tapes get just a bit too stiff for us to use, and hate to climb twice to pull an antenna down just to water seal it on the ground in a warm environment. Luckily we have better days now. Got up to 40 or so today and should be that way all week. MUCH better!!! "Normal" weather we don't have issues with water sealing - we have found a great system that works for us - rubber/mastic tape with electrical tape over that and on occasion, silicone for those connectors that we can't quite get the tape down into adequately. Thanks for the recommendations guys.

Re: [WISPA] Water sealing in cold weather
We use the same mastic and 33+ tape that we normally do. Before you go to the site, put it on the dash with the defrost on to get it warmed up well. Then put the tape INSIDE your shirt, that'll keep it fairly warm. Once up there, work really fast :-). marlon - Original Message - From: "Jason Hensley" To: "'WISPA General List'" Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 10:15 AM Subject: [WISPA] Water sealing in cold weather > Hey guys.

Re: [WISPA] Water sealing in cold weather
The key to using ice is to keep it cold all year. For the self-vulcanizing tape, I find it works by putting it on the defroster vent of the truck while driving to the site and then keeping it in an inside pocket until ready to use it.

Re: [WISPA] Water sealing in cold weather
I've used the liquid tape but never in the cold. What's happened to the vulcanizing tape? Some use a top coat of regular vinyl tape so that it doesn't weather.
