[QUOTE="condor22, post: 126095, member: 1932"] Some also sell it in white. I taped some of my coils and not others. I detected for a month all up and when I got home was surprised to find how much dirt and moisture got in between the coil and skid plate on the taped one. I de taped my 11" mono and it was as good as new under the skid plate. So my answer would be tape them and use the stuff the detector shop sells. I can't tape inside the spokes of my 18x12 because the surface is too staggered, but the outer circumference is taped after all that's the part of the coil that sees the dirt first. Solid coils are easy, spokes are dependent on profile. The other aspect is that if you get enough mineralised dirt in there it may affect the detector. I don't know that as a fact, but logic would tell me if I can prevent the risk, then do so. [/QUOTE]
