Hi Sandy and all, Thanks for the "Scotchcoat" name which I forgot. I knew it wasn't Scotchbrite or Scotchguard. Yes, the good thing about using the vulcanizing rubber is that you can cut deep into it with a razor blade and peel everything off of the coax and connectors. The rubber sticks to itself but not to metal or plastic. The connector will still look brite afterwards. I tend to trust the Scotchcoat product over the liquid electrical tape brand.
The vulcaniing rubber needs to be covered by the vinyl tape. Used alone it deteriorates rather quickly.
