R/C Naval Combat

Interestingly, having multiple coats of tooldip does little or nothing to prevent the delamination from the original surface.  Might even exacerbate it (by causing additional shrinkage pressure over time).

Would certainly have been easier to just open up the RX and scotchkote the board, and close it back up.  Took me about 10 minutes or less to do mine.  Ne separate box, no extra leads, no extra weight.

Of course, I have an old Airtronics that I sealed with glying leads in heavy duty shrinkwrap aith heavy duty silicone sealer at the ends when I started out.  Seemed a good idea and worked until I started scotchkoting radios, at which time I retired it to the spares bin somewhere.

When it dries its sort of a translucent sickly brown color.  Out here you used to be able to find it in the electrical section at hardware stores like Lowes and Home Depot, but I haven't seen any lately.  Believe its still available online, but don't know about places to buy it in canada.

You will find that it smells bad when wet and is pretty ugly (looks like a small animal had diarrhea on the circuit board), but works a treat. And, if you need to do repairs (say, soldering on a new antenna wire), it readily burns off with a soldering iron.

Kind of sticky and gooey/stringy  - I like to use latex gloves when using it - sticks very well to skin, clothes, etc. as well as circuit boards/wires.

If you are careful with it, and don't get it all over the outside of the can's lid threads, you will be much happier the next time you try to use it.

Cheers,

You might try local indusrisl/electrical/marine supply places.  A few phone calls amy help.

Cheers.
