Re: [ECOLOG-L] iButtons no longer water proof

You might go to a local paint or hardware store, even the big box stores like lowes, and buy a can of sealant. I think they sell rubber paint coat tool handles (like pliers). If you dip the ibutton in this sealant, it will be very waterproof and still record your data. Hope that is helpful

I used to seal stuff for some marine applications using a tube of Amazing goop in its marine version. It's not very viscous so I am not so sure how it will work for you considering the size of the ibuttons. You'll find that in DIY places like ace hardware. I've also managed to watertight stuff

This is a great idea except that a paint dipped button would not be readable. I take my buttons out half way through the field season to dump the data and reset them. Then at close of season I dump them and shut them off. The paint would have to be stripped off and reapplied each time. I agree

Dear list, I need to sample plants in a regularly-spaced grid pattern. I'd like to use my Garmin eTrex Vista GPS unit to help me stay in the grid pattern while I'm walking around in the grassland, but I don't know how to do this. One problem is that I won't know exactly where I'll be sampling

The quality really has gone down in the past 5 years or so. I seal the seam between the two pieces of metal with aquarium silicone and then wrap the whole ibutton in parafilm before deploying them. The whole thing is embedded in marine epoxy and deployed in the intertidal, where its

I have used iButtons to record water and air temperature for the last six years, both attached to animals and as temperature stations. I use three coats of a product called plasti-dip to waterproof them. It is relatively easy to remove with a sharp utility knife, by cutting along the edge of the
