How to Waterproof Electronics (the clean way)

I found it on EBAY!

They also make an acrylic coating. Not sure what difference that would make

Just realised that this person has passed away :( Seemed like a great guy. Life is short - enjoy what you have and your loved ones around you.

Sam, you were one of my most favorite youtubers growing up and you influenced many of my new hobbies.... id just wanna say that fpv stuff have improved a lot and is slowly becoming more accessible.... rest in peace my guy

[LeDribFPV]

wowww you've had much better luck than I with conformal coating... then again I used acrylic. I'll have to try silicone coating asap

[mememan]

R.I.P Samm, you will remain in our hearts forever

[Kabab]

excellent. you got the hang of flying these things real quick

Hey! Great video!! I use that stuff too, although I will probably use it more often now, after watching your video.
Also, this particular brand of conformal coating can be seen with an ultra-violet light after it is applied. I use the UV light from a UV "5 second" glue kit to see were the coating is and to see if I have missed any spots, works well!
Thanks for sharing your stuff!

Great video, thanks for making this. I loved your flight footage too.

As I understand it, the acrylic version isn't as flexible or resistant to heat, so the silicone conformal coating seems better for FPV applications.

[mikescantlin]

Great video, and great flying. Rest In Peace, Samm💜

[Jordanlolqwerty]

Miss you, brother. Glad you came around on my feed today...

[annunakkk]

I didn't realize they were so fast and responsive. It's like a remote viewing experience. I need one! I'd want more than just a conformal coating though. A triple layer protection protocol, like conformal coating on the bare components, layer of flex seal, then something similar to a cell phone case.

I have a jar of this stuff, and was contemplating using it on every component... just wasn't sure about the soldering of repairs later - you definitely answered that question :) great video!

[brittonstarr]

Super new to FPV, but I found your videos early on... the one thing that stuck with me, besides how helpful you are, you have quite the narrators voice.

Best (how to) waterproof video on Youtube! Thanks for sharing!

I use plasti dip on my circuit boards. Its rubber feel like material but its in liquid form when applied so it makes like one thick rubber mat over the board. Its also easy to peel of since mine is black (u can get other colors too, to mach your build) Its cost effective, my jar cost like 35 euros and its half liter and it is going to last me forever. It is also much better in my opinion to have some solid color than transparent since in that way you can be sure that every component on your circuit board is covered with it. It also doesn't ruin your welder tips since you can peel it off if needed and be sure there is none of it left on the solder joint section.

I believe it's people that share your sense of where is an appropriate location fly that have led to model aviation becoming very close to illegal here in Canada.

Thats the most entertaining drone flying ive ever seen !! Shame to read about the bad news tho ... RIP dude.

[ruddersidedown]

West Washington is a way better place to fly than boring Illinois. Bringing my quad out there this year when visiting family. I'll probably hit every tree though. lol.

Awesome video and thank you for all your research, trials and time putting all this together for all of us. I'm ordering this coating today and applying it this weekend.

[CINEAIRVIDEOPRODUCTION]

Thank Samm, nice flying, glad to see a crash, I was just asking how does he not hit those wires, I would hit them every time like a magnet, and then you did. LoL, nice to see others crash some times too! I use that stuff because I was burning out esc boards all the time. using the brush had 50/50 results. worked a few times but then the boards torched. the brush was way too messy for me and I guess I missed spaots some how, so I now us a small compressor and hobby air brush to apply it very nice finish and it works great. A little extra work but looks neat and works great. anyway thank agian and keep em flying!

5:09 oh look maaaa


It's snow quad angel :D
