[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1058257, member: 176704"] Thanks for the offer but I don't think that would help me too much because I've been using s/a tape[I] fairly[/I] successfully for quite a few years, but on a few occasions (especially when the weather is cool/cold - but then I try hold a finger on the tape to help the amalgamation process) then fails, or at least I find that out "sometime" later when corroded connectors &/or cable cores appear. Unfortunately for this whole issue, I have the physical problem of having quite large fingers and thumbs, and my Right thumb tip has had little or no feeling since it healed after I virtually decaptitated it at work 10 yrs or so ago - those two things make it very difficult for me to apply the tape to F-connectors in tight spaces, e.g. below motors and on switches, as I can't feel very much (being Right-handed, that hand does most of the work!). For that reason I would prefer connectors that are inherently fairly "weatherproof", although I am happy to use , and now sometimes do use, slide-on "rubber" sleeves over the cable ends of the connectors.
