1369977	2014-03-11 07:58:00	Figured out (the other day) why we couldn't get anything on Freeview here. With the outside aerial. I pulled the UHF cable out from inside the house (from the outside). Some idiot had cut it, when they put the UHF/ satellite cable through the side of this house. But I managed to fix it (there wasnt a lot of coax left), by cutting back the plastic, and putting those plastic block things in And it's left a bit of a hole / gap in the side in the house. So, just need something to cover it in case it rains. So what should I use?? Silicone or something else?	Speedy Gonzales (78)

With silicone when you are using it, at the end of your endeavours you can use a little amount of water to smooth the finished product, use your fingers as if you are clay modelling. You don't need much effort but you will get a superior finish, don't go over board and clean up your hands right away otherwise as the silicone dries you will have a lot of problems getting it off. Maybe a plastic glove or bag might be the right answer.	Bryan (147)
