I highly recommend silicone fusing tape for sealing antenna connectors. I use it outdoors on ham radio antenna connectors and it provides a perfect seal without being sticky or tacky. After about 24 hours it fuses to itself and becomes one solid piece. You can easily slit it to remove it and it leaves behind no sticky mess.
