Conformal coatings can be sprayed or brushed on. In your case a brushing may further damage the fragile surfaces so you should stick with a spray on type. There are several brands that come up on a Google search. Read the Wiki page to pick the right chemistry. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_coating">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_coating</a><br></div><div>Don Barch</div><div>Energy Solar<br></div><div><br></div><div>> On Sun, Aug 31, 2014 at 5:32 AM, Ron Young <<a href="mailto:solareagle@solareagle.com">solareagle@solareagle.com</a>><br>
