Moisture Proofing

The infamous Tack Moisture proofing mod.

Has he ever revealed which super wonderful product he sprays on that costs a fortune?

I'll buy a can and do these 2 ctw's here.

I'm almost positive it is just PCB lacquer.

You would have to mask of the button, and possibly coat the button in silicon grease after to make sure you don't get water ingress there but that is pretty much it.

JD Airsoft does a spray product called "Aqua Stop". I think this works for a quick and easy job ... Have known customers to use it on their PTW's and repels the water and damp very well.

Is it on the website? I'll take a look

i am sure i have seen a video of that spray where the guy sprays a light bulb connected to the mains and then dunks it under water.

may be mistaken on product though

It is ... search "Aqua Stop". Can't link as I am such a newbie (7 day pap).

James is right. This stuff works that well a bloke did a test and put a light bulb in water with it switched on. Worked a treat! Don't try this at home kids!

point proven its the same stuff

dont try this yourself though lol

Thats the stuff - stop spoiling all Tacks trade secrets, he may not be able to afford a new Mercedes at this rate if we keep doing the mods ourselves and saving £££ hundreds

so a squirt of Tacs PCB sealer costs how much

Best I get to Maplins and set up a business then buy a Merc

Lol, little do people know he doesnt actually do the motor rewinds himself neither, i was informed by a ptw forum user that he sends them to somebody else hence why they take so long.

Wasnt you was it mdodd? Or is it you he sends them to lol

No its nothing to do with me
But I will stand up for Tac on this one (maybe not his price ) but its not just the rewind, you need a comm lathe etc etc so, he may or may not do the winding, I have no idea. But there is quite a lot of work in doing it properly, and a few people who say they have tac motors dont, as there are a few telltale things which are missing from some supposed tac motors - and it isnt a simple case of rewinding either Im afraid.

a little bit naughty

Lol, well its nothing to do with me nor do i care but id rather people be honest than claim they are god. Hes a nice bloke dont get me wrong...but maybe not honest lol

Just moisture proofed mine with MAPLIN PCB LACQUER

Took the electronics off the gun then sprayed them with several coats (allowing each coat to go tacky first) then allowed it to harden overnight.

Job done.......another Tac mod sorted for less than £5

lol, I have some clear laquer round somewhere...

Anywho: http://www.ctw-owners.co.uk
