to get rid of condensatoin or protect smth from it you could... use electrical tape! u could mask whatever u wanna protect wit the tape and many layers just in case even so no water goes thru no electricity gets to water.. :D would it work? i think it would i never saw nething bout it tho.. but if condensation does get on it i dunno where it would go so... wait i do, u could make wit tape a little gutter that goes into a pipe and all the water pipes go into some container on bottom of ur case . tadaa :D.. late night ideas, dunno prolly will b proven wrong

I wouldnt use elect.tape, it wont hold. Id use something like those oversized Slurpee straws and run it down to a container or something...

my 2 cents...

The continued heating and cooling of pelters or anying cooling device would eventually cause the tape to fail. Not to mention, everytime I try to use electrical tape in extreme temperature conditions, it does not stick worth a damn.

that would be alot of tape, foam would work alot better because its less dense so it will insulate it better than electrical tape, i did though cover my pipe insulation with electrical tape and it worked good. And Tactics i had a roll that did work good under extreme cooled temps(around -20c) but the surface has to be clean and no condensation on the surface for it to stick. Unfortunately i dont know what brand it was.

You can use polyurethane adhesive, or go to an electrical store and get some comformal coating. Neither costs much, and will seal components just fine.
