 ===== Hacky Options =====
-Acrylic conformal coating looks, feels, and smells very much like clear nail varnish. I don't know if they are any different.
+==== Nail Varnish ====
+Acrylic conformal coating looks, feels, and smells very much like clear nail varnish. I don't know how they differ. I have now tried applying some nail varnish to a board. It was thicker than the conformal coat I have, so took a bit more work, and harder to put in small spaces. Finished coat also looks thicker / rougher. I have not tested effectiveness in water.
+==== Other ====
 Other grease coatings. Lanocoat if that's what you have on hand?
+Legitimate rather than hacky: epoxy. Maybe not the best choice normally, but on a boat it might be what you have already.
