so coax seal and what else? what kind of tape? electrical over coax seal?
Here's the procedure used in the two way radio/cellular industry:
Make sure connectors are clean/dry.
Install connector and torque to manufacturer specifications (or get it tight, but no need for white knuckles).
Using high quality electrical tape (no Harbor Freight crap), start wrapping UP the coax towards the antenna from about 6" below the connector. Overlap each wrap by 50%. When you get to the base of the antenna and have covered the connector, reverse direction and wrap back down to where you started. (Note: Some like to do the tape -adhesive side OUT-, yes, with the adhesive on the outside so it keeps the adhesive off the connector. Your choice if you want to do this…).
Next, start just above the tape layer with the self amalgamating rubber/butyl tape. Work up to the antenna base, covering the connector. Overlap each layer by a bit. When done, use your fingers to work all the tape joints so they are smooth.
Next, follow up with the electrical tape again, starting just below the butyl tape layer, working your way up to the antenna, and back down with 50% overlap.
Sounds like a lot of work? Yes, it is, but I've taken apart 30 year old connections that were sealed like that, and the connectors were still bright and shiny like the day they were made.
Some might consider it 'overkill', but it works.
Be aware that some antennas have moisture "weep" holes in the base. This is to let any moisture that condenses inside the antenna out. Make sure you don't cover up those weep holes if your antenna has them.
