Yes indeed this product is removable. Simple razor blade with do the trick. After I apply the second coat and trim the servo horn I'll post a close up for ya. Gonna be a couple days though for it to fully cure.

Did you put anything on the servo to keep the stuff from getting into the servo? I would really like to know how it turns out.

I don't know why you guys don't use Aeroplate, what your doing is not waterproofing the servos, water can still get in from the top. Your just making it harder to dry them out.

Big I just scuffed the servo housing so the dip would adhere better and as far as the top I plan to visit LHS for some o-rings to seat to the top other than that the other conjoining housings have o-rings in them.


polstery I like to go against the grain in RC,there are many products out there to be used. Any problems? No? thats what I thought..lol

what do you do with that stuff? do you just cover your servos and reciever with it and anything else you want to water-proof with it and it will keep the water out?

A simple balloon can break, ruining your electronics.

It is much safer to go with a "goo" then a balloon, in my mind anyways.

The only holes nessesary are the ones on the servo horn, the plastic or aluminum arm that connects the rod which controls the throttle or steering.
