Using
Coax-Seal® to waterproof a coax cable splice !
This is a new
space age plastic material which will quickly and effectively seal all types of coax cable
fittings.
COAX-SEAL stays flexible for years thus insuring moisture proof connections, good
SWR and long coax-cable
life. Make sure fittings and coax cable are clean and dry before applying. Peel six inches
of COAX-SEAL and
wrap around by winding from coax cover toward fitting with one half overlap with each
winding.

The seal is slightly sticky and should be molded now by hand to remove any gaps and to ensure that all the wraps are blending together. At somepoint the wraps will almost fuse together and the material may have to be cut away from the cable.
