My 4th year. Added RGB Last year, Pixels this year
I received an order of the Square metal modules from Ray Wu. The one's I purchased have four 5050 RGBs and a WS2801 chip on them. Upon inspection, I noticed that about half of them do not have the waterproofing clear material covering the 2801 chips. The other half seem to be nicely filled up with the waterproofing material.
These will be inside some CoroFlakes and will not have direct water but they could certaily get some surface moisture on them. This is my first experience with the 5050s, but I assume they also generate a fair amount of heat.
Should I be concerned about the bare spots on the 2801s and apply some additional waterproofing ? And if so, what type of material should I use that would not impact the light from the RGBs, or "be" affected by the heat ?
I will ping Ray's chat line to see what they have to say. I'll share their response in case they recommend some particular brand of material ...
