14. Insert a Sikaflex ® cartridge into the caulking gun, pull off the
tip of the cartridge, and then attach the mixing nozzle.
Warning: Once the epoxy mixes in the nozzle, the
material will set quickly (as short as 3 minutes in hot
weather conditions). Therefore, it is essential that all
fasteners, tools, and materials are available for securing the
antenna in the hole.
15. Apply the epoxy in a ¾- to 1-inch wide by ½-inch high bead
completely around the bottom edge of the antenna hole, and
then pressure squirt the epoxy into the 4 screw holes. This
process should require the majority of the epoxy in the tube.
16. Pull the antenna cable completely through to firmly seat the
antenna in the center of the hole, and then quickly secure the
antenna with the screws until tight.
Note: The screws can strip easily. Therefore, if using a
drill, use the lowest torque available and turn the screw in
slowly.
17. Apply any remaining epoxy around the antenna.
18. Allow the epoxy to cure for at least 10 minutes, and then use
commercial asphalt cold patch compound to fill the cavity
around the antenna and to cover the outer ridge of the antenna.
However, do not cover the element; that could significantly
impede reception.
