Can you use that electrical silicone, that's used for exterior coating of outdoor connections, and use it on this to keep it on a rooktop?

I have done nothing to mine and have kept it outside since I bought it. I thought about wrapping it in plastic where the usb plugs in to make it outdoor safe, but have not done so. they are pretty tough. I am sure I am drastically reducing the life of mine but it is just temporary until I get a line buried.

Susan, I would wrap the USB adaptor and the connection with some UV resistant waterproof material...that's the only thing that could get fouled....I placed it on the top of a sailboat's mast and it's still kicking(last June 2013)the antenna itself would have not issues with being placed on the roof...connecting it to the roof is a whole issue in it self...god luck and keep posting

It should be adequate for temporarily protecting an outdoor electrical outlet from rain and snow, but not total immersion. I would not trust it to remain safe for more than a month though.

This product can be used outdoors if you protect the electrical connection from the elements. I have one that I purchased but between the height of the heater and the height of the metal waterer that sits on top of it, it is too tall for my quail to reach the water. So I have one you're welcome to if you want to e-mail me - regina@coleman-creations.com.

I have been in the roofing business for almost 40 years. My experience with a silicone coating is the only thing that will bond to silicone is silicone. You could try a small can of liquid rubber on a limited area. It good stuff, just not compatible with silicone.

As for the metal, don't know for certain. It's painted, except the threads, so outdoor use should be okay.

Yes, I have had mine outside for several months on uncovered doors of a pool enclosure. So far so good. Attach the base. Add the top and then silicone all around the outside. Check connection to magnet. Don't worry about waterproofing the magnet side. Check the silicone from time to time and redo when you change the battery.

I think that a better resolution to your problem would be to apply strips of EPDM roofing materiel over the joint that you want to reinforce.So far as applying this over silicone, I don't know if that would work or not.

I didn't use the one I bought so I returned it. But... I wouldn't hesitate to use it outside, as long as you wrap the connections (each end) with electrical tape, or better yet use heat shrink tubing. We used lights under the toe kick of the island in our kitchen. This cord was to be the connector from one side to another, but instead we just continued the LED lights thru the cabinetry to get to the other side. Hope this helps.

The company should answer. However, I do not believe that this was designed for outdoor use.

You can use the cable outside, but it's a must that you use protective housing to guard it from the elements.

I used this stuff for patching up cracks in costume accessories that I made out of clay. So as far as I know, you can sand and paint over it. I'm just not sure about the outdoor use.

I don't recommend this for outdoor use. However the adhesive sticks well to metal but can be removed.

I wrap my connectors with black electrical tape and bury them just below the soil surface. It's not completely waterproof but the tape helps to protect it. Sometimes our winters include snow and ice on the ground for long periods and I've not had any trouble.

It's totally coated, so I guess it would be fine. Would ask an electrician though.

Yes they can. I have mine installed outside. You can protect by using a rubber sleeve tape with almagamating tape when connecting your F type service cables.

Extreme outdoor, I would not. It's basically meant for car moldings. works well for rubier or plastic car molding. It doesn't stick well to some plastics and others it sticks great. Metal plate to metal bumper and in extreme conditions? I would bolt it on.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.
