We used to use the wrap type CANUSA product similar to Coaxseal but the mess it left took time to clean up during outage repairs just to get to the connector body.... And our contractors couldn't understand that one wrap was sufficient, didn't need to wrap it 3 or 4 times like electrical tape...
We use almost exclusively the CFTV shrink... For underground and overhead plant we use a small butane torch (size of a deck of cards)... For overhead when the wind is hitting us (over about 10 mph at 20' AGL), we use a MAPP gas torch which speeds up the process... Our biggest thing is 1) water penetration and 2) time to remove for repair... The adhesive takes care of the water issue and the single score with a razor knife makes removal quick and without a big mess. http://dsgcanusa.com/literature/datasheets/DATA_CFTV.pdf On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 4:34 AM, Mark Stephenson < m...@countryconnections.net> wrote: > Have you tried CTB-15 from CANUSA? > > http://www.dsgcanusa.com/literature/datasheets/DATA_CTB-15.pdf > > The description seems pretty good and it does not require heat. > > Thanks, > Mark > > > > > On 11/19/09 10:56 PM, "AJ" <aj.grant...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I used to use Coax-seal on everything...
