Needing to seal a project box

DigitalDj

Hello,

I need to seal a project box from the weather and wondered if anyone could tell me what is the best to use. I heard that silicon will· cause solder connections etc. to·corrode!

Please Help!
Kevin

There are clear versions of silicon that will not. It depends on the catalyst that is used. I can't remember off hand which catalyst can be used.

If it smells like vinegar (acetic acid), it's the wrong kind. BoatLife has some "odor free" silicone sealants that I've used successfully around electrical work. Read the label...

Silicon usually uses CN ion or cyanide to catalyze. That is why they make a non-toxic version for fish tanks.

You could always use an adhesive tape to seal the box after assembly.
