| Neverwet on axial electronics
Just a quick dunk for a test, looks promising! Neverwet Waterproofing Demo on Axial scx10 electronics. ESC, BEC AND RX - YouTube IMO it's a good use of the product because once coated you won't be handling the components much Last edited by Demodude; 08-19-2013 at 07:29 PM. |

I'd like to know how things worked out after they dried. Are they still working?

Is it sticky? Try to test it outside. This film can be irresistible to dust/water. |

A couple of engineers where I work tried it on some laptops, apparently it breaks down after a couple of hours under water. It would be interesting to see how long it was effective for our application.

To the other question about stickiness, it's not at all. It's more like fine grit sandpaper. When I do my tutorial I will be using my gopro to show the electronics underwater, lol | |

| Re: Neverwet on axial electronics
I've had neverwet sitting on my bench for weeks now. I've been meaning to do something with it... I think it will hold up pretty darn well. It's not like it'll be submerged for hours. More like seconds at a time... I second the question about dust. That's a problem anyway. I'd be curious to see how well it cleans up after I get it good and dusty/dirty.

Just a quick note: I did drill holes in the bottom of my RX, ESC and electronics box cases to allow water to flow through. I didn't want water collecting like a dish pan.

| Re: Neverwet on axial electronics
so this NeverWet stuff is like an advanced version of Scotchgard? how does it feel when dry? does it attract dirt/dust like crazy or does it somewhat repel that too since it's silicone based?

| Re: Neverwet on axial electronics The first coat is mildly sticky at first but dries to non sticky, much like a primer. The topcoat once applied feels exactly like sandpaper. It won't attract dirt at all because it isn't sticky

| Re: Neverwet on axial electronics You'd get some nasty fumes from the stuff burning I'd bet, and a contaminated surface. You can remove the neverwet by (from the instructions) "first sanding then wiping the treated object with Xylol or mineral spirits"

Did it spark when you touched the esc right at 1:19? Looks like the black motor wire arcs when you moved the esc.
