[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1077886, member: 369937"] We use a special brand of heat shrink tubing in the RF antenna world, it is UV resistant and it has a sealant inside it that is heat activated, once it is heated up to the correct temp the sealant will flow around the coax connector and the heat shrink will compress it around the connector and what ever antenna connector is exposed. I do not recommend the use of this type if your going to be removing the LNB or what ever your trying to seal up anytime soon as it is very difficult to do so with this type of heat shrink. If the connections are outside and exposed to the weather a small dab of coax rated dielectric grease should be used, do not use the stuff that they sell for the auto light bulbs and auto connectors, that stuff will attack the coaxes center insulation and you will have some problems, it will also travel down the inside of the coax. The grease that is rated for RF coax is called "STUF" you can find it on Amazon. [/QUOTE]
