MG 8309 is a Conformal Coating Remover. So if you were overzealous with the conformal application or coated your barometer, you can most definitely reverse what you did

[@Lazerecho]

TIL

[@blutonic]

I coated my 3.5" Grinderino with FPV Worry Free, easy enough to apply, haven't had an issue flying in rain or through water fountains. Coated my 5" Demibot with Flywoo X30 Superhydrophobic spray and it works just as well but even easier to apply and work with! Love the choices we have.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Great video! I've coated over 200 quads, and I agree with all this good advice, except for the "truly waterproof" bit. Ive found with MG 422C you really need 3-4 coats to waterproof, with 1 or 2 it's still "light duty" it's super easy to rework, because you can solder right through it. Light duty means your electronics will probably survive, but in a light rain you'll eventually get waterlogged. With heavy duty coating, you'll completely encase the boards. Worry free isn't good to solder through, but you can scrape it back with a fingernail and then solder 👌 it takes about an hour to dry, but only needs one coat. If you want to seal ports properly, put in a silicone plug and carefully coat the port while it is plugged, when you need betaflight, just peel it off and recoat when you're replugged. Warm PC Desktop exhaust dryer FTW, the editing actually dries the drone 👌 great video 🙌

[@RandoManFPV]

This worry free stuff is cool lol it makes my esc and fc look like professionally waterproofed electronics just in the way it makes that cool rubbery force field around it. Sure was clean and shiny looking before I got impatient and went for an early fly 😂 now I got that matte desert tan finish on my stack. I basically gave my stack the FPV equivalent of a tar and feather punishment 😂🤦‍♂️

[@Fly_High_FPV]

@RandoManFPV lol, stack dont care if it's tan n dusty, it's just happy to be dry 👌

[@CCC0122]

GREAT JOB! I've literally been putting off doing this on my quads for years! Every video I watched before yours was ok, but not one was as detailed as this. Ty, I'm 5 minutes away from waterproofing my gear

[@djSpinege]

just got done Conformal coating my winter gear. been doing it since 2013. I like to put little heat sinks on my VTX's after coating them. I've had a couple over heat after Conformal coating.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Same way i do my esc's, peel off the heat sink, apply conformal, and squeeze the heatspreader down into the CC 👌

I've been using the mg chemicals conformal coating. That stuff is awesome. Flying in the rain is a blast!

[@UnmannedSky]

Fpv worry free does a better job than regular conformal coating. It's so easy to miss a spot with conformal. Fpv worry free encases everything in a gelatinous substance. Flew my quad into a waterfall in scotland no problem. But yes it is more of a pain to get off

[@William_NS]

I use Conformal for my standard quad builds but for my waterproof builds, I use FPV Worry Free. So I can FPV Worry Free! no but seriously, if you want to fly through downpours or land in the swimming pool, FPV Worry Free is where it's at!

[@BaconNinjaFPV]

I may or may not have landed and taken off from a few swimming pools with this stuff, lol....not on purpose of course :p worry free does give you a little more confidence though since it is thicker.

[@pedrogabryyel]

[@michaelwhouse46]

I've been using the worry free stuff but I think I'm going to try the thinner stuff you have. The wf stuff is like smearing silicone caulking across the board. I learned about the barometer on the speedybee boards by coating my first one and covering that little hole. On my 30x30 I was able to scrape it off and it was fine but my 20x20 I must of gotten some inside because it's always saying I'm at a few thousand feet. Makes the RTH function pretty interesting.

[@IBHiNation]

I've been planning on doing this so I can fly in dense fog, but flying in the snow is going to be so great!

[@GarethDix]

This is the video I’ve been looking for!

[@jiatan_fpv]

A small nitpick: barometers can be damaged by isopropyl alcohol or other solvents, so you should close the opening _before_ cleaning the board, not just before conformal coating. Source: dps310 datasheet: "Air blow and ultrasonic cleaning procedures shall not be applied to MEMS pressure sensors. A non-clean paste is recommended for the assembly to avoid subsequent cleaning steps. The MEMS sensor can be severely damaged by cleaning substances." Also, ovens can work for quad drying, if temperature is regulated well enough. 80°C with convection on works pretty well (if you have a battery powered beeper, maybe choose a lower temp - lipos don't like high temperatures). Or a hairdryer.

[@BaconNinjaFPV]

hey that is some good info! There are some sophisticated mems in there doing all the pressure sensing so that makes sense.

[@yonseimatt]

You can also put silicon grease in the sockets for extra protection. Forms a watertight seal without compromising conductivity (the plug just displaces the grease). Probably regular grease would work too, it does in automotive applications, but might be more conductive.

[@airfl.w]

Excellent video. Super comprehensive. If you want to be as waterproofed as possible I’d do the conformal and then fpv worry free. It’ll be more work to peel off after for repairs though.

I make side panels out of thin plastic food containers to help protect the guts from flinging debris and branches and just fly with caution around water or when it's really wet

[@GarethDix]

You could try using rainx on the lens and it’ll bead straight off

[@BaconNinjaFPV]

I was gonna say, a little rainex keeps it from sticking and making big beads. I don't really like to fly in the rain anyway even if the lens isn't feeling clingy, but a small wipe of that helps for sure.

[@johnrosner8964]

I would never use worry free where I Live, I live in Arizona. It gets too hot and the components would overheat.

[@CantFly_FPV]

You just reminded me, I don't know where my MG Chemicals went. I try to coat all my quads but I am guilty of letting many go without a coating. I live in the only place hotter and dryer than Texas. So, only by maliceful machination might my multi-rotor's microelectronics meet a most moist moratorium, misfortune; Le malheur! I actually have some FPV Worry Free but like you said, it's a pain in the ass if you ever plan to work on the quad again. With that said, my conformal coating should be here Tuesday and my little USB plugs, tomorrow. I never thought to buy USB-C and Micro USB dust covers, thanks!

[@christhorney]

blue tac is the best tool when conformal coating, i fill the plugs and plug the baro with it and spray my circut board laquer spray till it runs off, 3 coats, then when its dry i scrape the skin off and use fresh blue tac to pull out the tac thats in the plugs, or if im not using that plug then i leave it filled and coated, also im a firm beleiver that it increases durability by making the componants less suseptable to vibrations and stuff cos they glued down like a mofo. - driftingS13

[@BaconNinjaFPV]

Blue Tac is a great way to do it! I tend to be the joker who gets it stuck in the ports though, lol...so I just plug them in now rather than have to dig it out. I too agree about having the components better seated after coating, and it looks like more manufacturers are doing that in some spots now.

[@michaelwhouse46]

blue tac is the best for almost everything. I like it to mute the vifly gpsmate beeper when im plugged into my laptop. It thinks the battery has been ejected and has the self powered beeper that is beyond annoying. blue tac over the horn...silence.

[@christhorney]

@@BaconNinjaFPV i 100% plug in the ones im using first, just the usb and baro i usually remove it from any extra plugs it can stay there and help keep it sealed for life

[@Fly_High_FPV]

100% this, but instead of bluetac I use silicone plugs for usb 👍

[@christhorney]

@@Fly_High_FPV silicone plugs dont do the job well enough for spray, i have had the usb become unuseable because the circut board lacquer is so thin and runny it made its way into there, if your using a brush then the silicone plugs are all good, the blue tac works great for the spray cos you can really fill the usb and plugs and when you remove it their is 0 conformal that gets in there even tho i drench the stack till the conformal runs off it

[@justinslaight]

[@gammagonad1657]

I just use it on the one analog 5” I keep around for flying off boats and in winter weather(I’ve had 4 or 5). I have dunked them many times, I dried them, wait about 1-2 days and they are always fine. I have never ruined one from snow or water surprisingly

[@Mupshot]

I do conformal coat if I have the bottle handy when I'm building. Def coat the esc, but don't worry much about the fc as I figure grass juice and condensation are more a risk. Whoops always get a coating. I missed my landing pad once, dropped my inav build into a snow bank and retrieved a giant snow ball. 2 days on the fan, it still flies as badly as I make it.

[@diverFPV]

I have done this in a meteor75 whoop and it worked fine . The only problem was that I had many temperature warnings in osd on summer. That's why I didn't do it in my larger quads

GOOD JOB MATE

[@chickwithstick7695]

Acrylic MG Chemicals - 419D-55ML...is better because you can solder right through it for repair

[@BaconNinjaFPV]

you can with the silicone as well :) I have a quad back on the wall that has 3 years worth of soldering repairs and component swaps through the silicone conformal. The coating is getting a lil thick now on it though, lol.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

The biggest issue with acrylic is it's less flexible , and even more prone to chipping than 422c and 422b . I like how tbe flexible coatings help secure wires too 👌

with the silicone and acrylic based coatings you can just heat up the pad like you would when tinning and the coating will burn off within a couple of seconds :) That is one reason to use thin coats as opposed to thicker ones because although you can still burn through a thicker one it will leave more mess from bubbling coating.

What if we use Nail Polish, the stuff with nitrocelulose, the good stuff. Or what if we just put hot glue over everything?

[@BaconNinjaFPV]

I tend to not use that kind of polish as coating just because it remains flammable after it dries. Not that you couldn't and it would last longer with that than acrylic, but some things tend to get hot on quad parts and I just never liked that combo. Hot glue can be done too, and I admit I have done that wayyyy back in the day when I used to build my own PCBs. Downside is that will retain quite a bit of heat and may impact the service life of components.

[@Nemesishk]

@@BaconNinjaFPV Ha, yeah, nitrocellulose and a hot ESC would make a quad that's FIRE!! 🔥

Dont use hot glue on any boards that get hot (pretty much all boards in fpv) if it gets hot enough to liquefy it will creep and ruin boards 😪 i've seen it make some on the fly antenna mounts and fpv mounts and single use skidz too 🤣 (that's the kinda junk that literally led me to 3D Printing 👌)

[@1337flite]

I suspect the really important thing is what you do after the quad gets wet. I have some experience with quads and water. I've had a Kised Alien that was underwater for a couple of hours and a Diatone GT349 which was under water for 5-15 mins. The Alien lost it's battery, the battery of the GT349 stayed on. Both of those quads are still flying - the Alien is had it's swim about 5 years ago - there's a photo of the ALien immediately after it was pulled out of the water at the end of: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYq5eqN_hqyWjqM. The Alien had had extensive conformal treatment, the GT had only had conformal on the solder joints for the motos and battery wire joints - it was it's first flight and it was a plug 'n' play and I had not pulled it down yet. The quads both went into the same water - an onramental creek at my local park.The water is fresh water, but it has rats and ducks and who knows what else swimming in it and the bottom is covered in sediment, so it is not very clean fresh water. The Alein came up covered in mud etc - I could not see the Alien when I recovered it even though it was only in 9-12" of water. The water was a fair bit cleaner when teh GT went. In both cases after recovering the quad (and disconnecting the battery for the GT - out of the water) - I took the quads home and flushed them with fresh clean tap water (our tap water is chlorinated) for like 10-15 mins, rotating them and moving the hose around to cover as many anbgles as possible, basically trying to git rid of as many conductiver particles as possible. Then I left then to dry for 2-3 days in the sun. In both cases it was summer which means it was 35C+ (nearly or around 100F) and very dry - we have very low humidity. Then I powered them up with a low charged battery (as in flown but not recharged or storage charged) smoke stopper and when that was OK I The Alien came trhough will all components OK. The GT which still had a connected battery when it when under water needed a new 4in1 ESC. With cameras I coat all the internal components except the sensor. I also apply some coating to the lens threads and for cameras with a case aroiund the join of the case back, both before and after repalcing the back. I believe the best way to apply conformal is to air brush it - the MG 422B comes "ready to spray" - but make sure you have some kind of thinners to clean out your brush after. I just use a paint brish designed for scale modelling to apply mine and i use laquer thiner to thin the coating even more (I have some that is not MG and is much thicker) and clean the brush. One thing many people don't know is is that conformal coating - at least silicon conformal - is a thermalk insulater so applying it thin is a good idea. I typcially go really heavy on the pins of chips, regulators etc and fiarly light on the top of the chip package. You can solder through conformal, but I prefer to try and scape it of with a wooden tooth pick or icream stick or to use alcohol to clean it off. If you solder through the solder behaves kinda ike lead free solder and you get little points when you take the iron off - like tiny pointy dog turds and the solder looks dull. It still works, but it looks shit and I'm not 100% convinved the join is mechanically quite as good.
