yes when we did traffic signal installs they always had us use 88 and sometimes 
a gray tape that the phone co had and it was used for a lot of the wires that 
got cover in the ground.

  Most of the advice given here about taping antenna connections and the 
  techniques has been right on. However, I've been using Scotch 88 for sealing 
  connectors since about 1970 as it is twice as thick as 33+. Supposedly the 
  same material, just thicker.

  I was also taught to spray the connections with clear Krylon before and 
  after taping. Also, spray it on all the external hardware, nuts and bolts, 
  etc. It dries so thin that the hardware can be easily removed but does 
  provide protection against corrosion, at least for a few years.
