[HCARC] New Coax Seal???

[Gary J - N5BAA]

Apparently almost the same product except that the 3M version available on Ham sites is either black or red and is twice the cost.  Think I am going to try this stuff – on fittings close to the ground as an experiment.  I’ll do one on a cut off fitting and bring it to the meeting.

If this is like the 3M product - then yes, it's true.   Can't do any better than this 
to seal coax connectors.  The NWS team started using this on the NOAA Wx
radio sites after shown this product (the 3M version).

  Has anyone heard of or tried a new sealing tape from Nashua Tape Products called “Stretch and Seal”.  The package says it is self fusing silicone sealing tape which is recommended for splicing, etc.  It has a workable temp range of –65F to 500F, uv resistant, protects to 8000 volts, is waterproof, leaves no residue, is clear, and stretches 300%.  It’s recommended uses are splice and repair electrical wires and cords, seal electrical plugs and connectors, seal pipes and hoses, cover sharp edges and protect against rust and corrosion.

  OR is this a Too Good To Be True product???  One good thing – it’s made in the USA.

  Available at Home Depot at about $6.00 for 10 feet.
