I would use Coax Seal. Same idea as duct seal but it's more pliable, 
more wx resistant and a little stickier. It will last forever, never 
hardens and can be peeled off when needed. Might want to screw pl-259 
shells onto the socket threads first, then seal them. The sockets & 
shells will be pristine when you go to use them.
