 Ant treatment Hi, Would treating an vertical or beam (alloy) antennae with wax oil thinned down degrade performance. Thanks

Re: Ant treatment With Waxoyl, it is easier to spread it with a cloth rather than thin it.
They are both supposed to creep and be self healing.
Waxoyl was proven on oil rigs, and Tectyl was proven on aircraft, and both used on cars.
Tectyl is easier to get a smooth thin film, and seems to be less sticky for dust.
There is also a German product, but I have never tried it.
