LOL @ MOJO !!
got a tube of NOALOX at home depot today .

saw this there ......
IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. - Duct Seal

would this be good to use around the 259 after its securely attached to the antenna ? and also cover the joints in the elements sections ? wondering if it might be a good moisture barrier to prevent corrosion/shorts .

For around the PL-259, I just use black Hi-Temp RTV Silicone that you get at any auto parts store. Works great.

For the PL259s I wrap them in a layer of electrical tape, then a layer of CoaxSeal. That way if I ever have to remove the connector I can just run a knife down the CoaxSeal and peel it off then unwrap the tape. BTW - the CoaxSeal is reusable. When my beam goes up (as soon as we have some decent weather) I plan on using NOALOX on the elements where they slide together and will seal the seams with a bead of CoaxSeal.

DX Engineering sells penetrox in an 8oz bottle for $12.00.Lifetime supply.Or HRO sells butternut in a little plastic bag for $7.00.Just enough to do one antenna.My antennas dont go up without it!!!
