Water proofing a Project

[Jon Jack]

A good reference we use at work for o-ring seals is the Parker O-Ring Handbook. The Parker O-Ring Handbook goes over just about everything you would ever want to know about o-rings. Everything from materials and handling, applications, lubrication, groove sizes for various types of seals, o-ring profiles, etc, etc, etc.

Those "lock and lock"containers are really nice! You could also investigate various PVC pipe fittings and cobble something together. Most of the plumbing stuff at my house is waterproof, LOL!

If you want something a little tougher than tupperware or whatever people are suggesting, get a small ammunition can from eBay or such, then build the light into that (anywhere on the box is fine really, so long as it can still latch shut). Then waterproof the light and the hole it's sitting in and you're good to go with a military ammo-can light-thing that you can still open up and work on and is perfectly waterproof.

They did this on a recent episode of Hak5 if you are interested in watching a video of how they did it and how it turned out.

I have no idea what Hak5 is, but if you can get me a video link, then by all means, please do.
