I have long given up trying to waterproof boxes from Rain. I keep them rain proof and make sure there are multiple places for water to run out.
I also do a lot with Alpine Ski racing and we have timing boxes, no different than a Beverage box, scattered all over ski hills. Same practice. Just make sure you have it somewhat ventilated. If you open a box and it is full of water, you then have a problem. :) Mike va3mw On Wed, Oct 30, 2019 at 10:57 AM Mike & Becca Krzystyniak <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks everyone, all good inputs on experiences and options. > > For the record I'll be trying small weep holes first and maybe some > internal > conformal coating in an attempt to reduce residues... > > 73 Mike k9mk/5 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Topband [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike & > Becca Krzystyniak > Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2019 2:28 PM > To: 'TopBand List' > Subject: Topband: Desiccant in Beverage Boxes > > > I went to put my beverages back up for this winter.
