I once had the idea of making my mast-head loading coil look better
by waterproofing it with some of the sealant you squirt between the
bath and the wall in a bathroom. It comes in several colours and I
tested the brown one in a microwave oven. I am pleased that I did as
it became VERY hot. I could have spoiled a long length of Litz wire
by using this material. I am back to using black plastic sticky tape (a
reel of this stays cold in the microwave oven - though the cardboard
former gets warm).
