D. Extra section of belting used to reinforce transmitter antenna. After the resin was allowed to set for 60 min, we removed the mold and examined the transmitter package to make sure that all parts had been covered. If additional resin was needed to cover a thin spot, we applied the resin with a small brush. After the resin on the transmitter package was allowed to harden for 2 hr, a thin coat of Surfacing Resin (TAP) was applied over the transmitter package. A coat of the Surfacing Resin was also painted over the side-mounted antenna to ensure that no moisture will act on the copper antenna. After all the resin had hardened, the entire collar and transmitter package was painted with a nontoxic waterproof paint, the same color as the neck of the lion. The color will usually be a beige/brown and will help to camouflage the collar on the lion. The expanding catch for the collar was constructed using large gum rubber bands and a metal clasp. The two gum rubber bands are about 127 mm (5 inches) long, 12.7 mm (72 inch) wide, and 1.5 mm (7,^ inch) thick. The clasp provides uniform tension on both gum rubber bands and connects the ends of the collar. About 7.2 cm (3 inches) of the two gum rubber bands were securely stitched with non-rotting thread to the shorter of the two ends of the collar (the side that does not have the side-mounted loop). The loose ends of the rubber bands were then folded back and stitched to the previously sewn portion of the loop (Figure 3).
