0 Chris Haley Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I would give that spray on water sealer a try. The stuff that is suppposed to fix a garden hose while it's running. Try ACE hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JP Z Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 rino,I think Chris is on to something. But you need to know that eventually the water is going to migrate all the way in to your camera head and short it out. So I guess the spray on stuff is a temporary fix.------------------Tight Lines,JP Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Rino Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 I was thinking about using an intertube repair kit to patch the area. I hope I have gotten out all the water it works fine right now but I want to make sure it is sealed before I submerse it again. Thanks for all your suggestions.

0 Surface Tension Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Try Plastic Dip. Apply multiple coats letting each coat thoroughly cure before applying another. Also each coat should overlap 1/4" onto the cable. So your first coat is a 1/2" stripe and each consecutive coat gets wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
