Sealing tape for external F-connectors
I know the kind of sealing tape that is used for sealing F Connectors but I can't find a supplier here in Belgium
Can anyone let me have a specification or part number to help my search Sandy |

Can anyone let me have a specification or part number to help my search Sandy http://satcure.com/tech/fconn.htm It actually helps fitting the F-plug which can be difficult if you have the right size F-plug for your chosen cable. Check-out, http://satcure.com/accs/page7.htm#fconn Others use just self amalgamating tape, method below, http://satcure.com/tech/self_amalg.htm I use just silicone grease for a few nights stop with a caravan, but for home long term I use both, very cautious! I apply the grease as above, then with absorbent kitchen paper carefully clean it off the exterior, followed by amalgamating tape. The tape will not stick to the grease! Both are obtainable at Satcure, by mail-order, but I live in France & found both in Monsieur Bricolage. Does that chain exist in Belgium? David |

I bought some fantastic self amalgamating silicon tape at IBC last year, it was much nicer to use than the traditional rubber stuff and very resistant.

AS others have said silicone grease, I then use waterproof boots (neater than self amalgamating tape).

Or if you haven't already fitted your set up, you could go for professional water tight plugs that don't need tape:
