    Conformal coating

    How well does using a conformal coating on the receiver circuit board work?

    Works great but you need to be careful of buttons and connections like the antenna and receiver pins.
    I am using a MG Chemicals Silicone conformal coating with a brush. It's pretty nasty stuff so be sure to apply it outside with a lot of air.

        I coated the board with clear fingernail polish being careful not to get any in the Futaba bind button. I then coated the pins and button with dielectric grease with an acid brush.
