Rectangle modules and rain

[MrChristmas2000]

I'm drying out my failures and going to try it again tonight. I'ts supposed to rain some more. 

[MrChristmas2000]

Well the modules failed again.

Has anybody used clear paint to seal the rectangle nodes?

I've attempted to use various kinds of clear paint in the past for sealing against rain. It never worked. What about the spray on silicone? I know it would make them a pain to work on, but I'm not sure what else is left

Where would you get plexidip?

[chrisatpsu]

i ordered mine from US Plastic, they ship pretty fast from Ohio. I'm sure others have found it in local places.

heck, for a temporary solution, until it comes in, buy clear fingernail polish (or get some from a wife/gf/mom...etc.)

of brass musical instruments, clear fingernail polish works as a replacement laquer for old horns.

yeah, i have the can in the middle (without the little bottles of color)  i'm getting ready to coat my nodes tonight. i went to lowes, and pixked up Naptha thinner to make the plasti dip not so thick.

if you look in one of RJ's video's, he talks about dipping the nodes to help waterproof them. I bought from the first batch, and they need it (exposed boards, etc.) it would work on the plastic rectangles (which i'm planning to do also.

sorry for the delay, i'm splicing my strings to get the length i need.

In case you didn't know, the regular cans of Lighter Fluid (zippo or ronson type) is pure Naptha.
It may be cheaper (or it may not be, but it is readily available)

[chrisatpsu]

good to know...  a can of Naptha at Lowes was around $7 for a quart

[MrChristmas2000]

Bought a can of the spray. Have processed some of the modules that were giving me trouble and it is going to rain on Sunday  through early next week so I'll see how it works.
