Tutorial - Sealing Connection Pin SXK BB USB Version

[nwhornet]

Awaiting the arrival of my BB should be today. Now for the question has anyone used hotglue to seal? I have silicone and hotglue both so I have options. Also I've read that the "newer" versions do not "need" to be sealed can anyone confirm this?????

New versions of the authentic BB are sealed I believe.

Ok thanks and I confirmed that the SXK versions still need to be sealed, mine was not! IT IS NOW!!! @Vapaneezer Scrooge thank you for the tutorial it was super easy! Although I had to use food grade silicone in lieu of the stuff you guys have there in Great Britain! I will still be wiping the condensation away often, but the added piece of mind is great! Once again thank you for the tutorial!!

Nice one @Sanch I hope you're enjoying the BB

Yeah it's still wise to clean it out frequently, I haven't sealed my screen area which would be the next prone area for damage should a major spill occur, the Bantam Box is a far better design as all the electronics are higher than the base of the Boro.

Hey, can anyone in the US recommend what product (sealant) to use, preferably that I can buy from Amazon? I saw loctite makes a clear silicone adhesive, but I was uncertain if it would be good for the purpose

This question came up earlier, @domejunky replied with this if it helps:

I used contact adhesive on a few boxes - you know the stuff that dries quite rubbery. You're only trying to make a gasket, not glue the pin in - so something quite feeble

Thank you, I’m going to pick up some of the Gorilla Glue contact adhesive and seal down that pin before my slight leak kills the box. Thank you guys [emoji1360]

That sounds about right, I was eyeing up the Gorilla option, let us know if it works okay.
