[Elecraft] Waterproofing coax connectors (Was: N Fittings)

[Stuart Rohre]

Tom is very correct.  In 3M presentations on their specialty tape products,
they emphasized NOT yanking off the end of any tape; but to unroll as Tom
says, and let it "relax" then CUT the tape from the roll.  That way, you
will not have loose ends hanging off the installation after a few weeks.
This is true of any tape with stretch.

3M has a broad line of self amalgamating tapes.   They are used extensively
in the electric utility trade; so met a local lineman, or check with
electrical wholesale houses in your vicinity.

If ever you can get a 3M rep. to give a local club a presentation, they are
fond of bringing samples to give out.
