2.8 kit water leaking through db25
In a submersion test I observe water dripping in through the holes in the db25. The endplate pieces seem to be cemented correctly, and epoxy/superglue was used as directed. Can anything be done to prevent this?
Is this a good question?
There turned out to be 2 problems, and the epoxy was one. There was no space in the access holes to add more, but I was able to put a generous amount into the hole where the wires enter the end cap assembly. Perhaps this was in the instruction step and I missed it.
The other problem was caused by an incomplete bond between piece 6 (the last piece, white) and piece 5. The first time I tried to cement it, I didn't realize that piece 5 was not white acrylic like piece 6, but simply had a white paper cover. Of course the seal did not hold and I later removed the paper and re-cemented. But this time a whole section adjacent to the wire entry hole did not seal, I could peal it back easily. Re-cemented again and fortunately this time it held.
Waterproof now!
