Re: [Repeater-Builder] Fiberglass antenna protective coating?

[Steve Bosshard (NU5D)]

Seems like I have used an epoxy resin with a hardener to seal fiberglass radomes.  I have had some that were pretty ragged, and had to hand sand the loose fibers, then apply epoxy resin.  Seems like the working time was something like 30 minutes before the epoxy began to set.  I have had several of these re-habed antennas up for over 5 years.

I have a shiny new Antennex FG1440 2 meter repeater antenna, and Ithought that before we install it on the tower, maybe I should put anadditional protective coating on over the fiberglass. Looking forsomething that would not get brittle and crack off any time soon. Any
ideas? Urethane maybe? I once used some urethane designed as a marinefinish with great results, but I'm open to suggestions..Thanks,dave na6dfYahoo! Groups Links
