One more picture below.

Behold, rebar clamps to give my veggies a nice climbing structure.

They're 3 total parts and are held together heat sets and bolts.

Water will find it's way in even if you try to seal it. Just put some anti seize on the threads.

I absolutely agree and the goal is to extend that time for as long as possible. (But yeah, anti seize is actually a really good idea.)

Sounds like you have never had the "pleasure" of working with coax junction sealants before. It's not too bad, but it's also not fun either. It is very effective though.

I usually use butyl tape to seal my coax connections. It's a bit of a pain to remove, but mineral spirits cleans off the residue fairly well.

There was a precursor to butyl tape that I am thinking of specifically. It was more clay-like and just as nasty. (It would have been easier (subjective) to pinch off balls of the stuff and cram it in those screw holes.)

No mind. You had the correct solution, me thinks.
