Default antenna repair

Put on your gloves, grab a wad of steel wool and rub it down good. Should
come out smooth with all the glass slivers gone.

After awhile, those fiberglass antennas lose their outer coating and get
really nasty to handle without gloves. If you grab 'em barehanded, you

get
a bunch of little fiberglass needles in your hands.

Is there any good stuff to recoat 'em with to tame 'em down a bit?

They're
still good insofar as performance goes, just need a coating of some kind

to
keep the fiberglass from shedding. Any ideas as to what product might

work
best?
