Thinking is an excellent first step.
Some of it will have to be implemented for success.

There are many many many conformal coating products available.
Some work better than others.
Few are utterly superb.
1-2577 is.
DC products are often enough among the best available and always worth a lo=
ok.

In this case 1-2577 is available, affordable if you can get a small
enough quantity (expensive but very little needed) and works far far
better than typical lacquers, varnishes, resins.

1-2577 was reported by Sandia laboratories as being used to coat
concentrator solar cells in outdoor use. A more demanding application
would be hard to find. They changed back to it after having tried
another product that did not work as well.
