OD board waterproofing?

[Braden Crowe]

Has anyone developed a creative solution to water-proof the OD board? If all goes well, the board should stay dry, although I imagine there'll be at least one accidental overflow in our future.

Without a doubt there will be an overflow. I've had many. 

I don't really have a solution to it, although I've found that cleaning the OD boards by soaking them in DI water works well. I also try to scrub the salts off with a clipped paint brush (so the bristles are a bit stiffer). Thus far, the boards have worked just fine after a good cleaning.

You can conformal coat the boards if you want.  They sell a few different formulations in spray cans.  If you want to be able to do soldering rework to the boards choose silicone (it just burns away from the solder tip).  Just make sure that before you spray you mask off all the electrical connectors with tape.
