I have to hookup an antenna to a coax wire. Existing wire is from Dish TV hookup. But weather boot from antenna is supposed to go on the male end of the wire BEFORE the connector is crimped on, because the connector itself is too wide to go through the hole in the weather boot. Thus I cannot use the existing weatherproofing boot.
How can I weatherproof this connection without having to buy a $30 coax crimping tool? Note: it gets HOT, 100F and hotter on summer days, and below freezing in the winter. Electrical tape will not hold up to this.
What about encasing connection in a 1-2" length of loom (used for holding multiple wires together) then paint with Quick Dip (rubber stuff you dip tool handles in)?
