At this point, I'm considering just using epoxy, or perhaps coat it in wax, 
then fill with silicone, such that it should be removeable.

20+ years ago, I experimented with RC boats and we used regular silicone to 
seal the box with the electronics.  I need to find these someday and see what 
the state of the electronics is.
