you can find the same product in a "brush on" form. that may be easier than the spray can. i did like the spray form as it can do thin, even coats.
but brushing it on is a bit easier, as you dont have to worry about overspray.

You can use the dip, spray-on stuff, brush on stuff or balloons if you want but it's all a pita and never seals completely or for long.

Personally, I prefer to take the time to pop the cases off of all the electronics and use dielectric grease on all the circuit boards and thru the case openings. It works far better than ballons, dipping or anything else I've ever tried and lasts forever. At least I've never had to redo anything, not even on my rc boats. It works so well I even use it on my 1:1 jet skies. It prevents corosion too. I also use it on the 1:1 trailer light bulbs/sockets and anywhere water may get in/on a 12v (or less) electrical connection. $6 for a 3oz tube will last a long, long time and has a ton of uses.
