Hello. I live near the coast and my air humidity is pretty high, usually it's around or above 50% on warmer days and maybe even higher if it rains. While I store my nixies in containers with a few silica packets, the nixies that are built into clocks are exposed to the humidity.
I'm wondering if such humidity has any noticeable impact on nixie lifespan in terms of rusting at the glass-metal interface? Would it be a good idea to apply a bit of conformal coat over the glass-metal interface, or would the risk of the conformal coat chemically attacking the area over time be more than what humidity can do? The coating I usually use for PCBs is MG Chemicals silicone modified conformal coating. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
