Best Way To 'salt Water' Proof A Temperature Sensor
I am after some ideas about the best way to make a Temperature Sensor suitable for permanent exposure to salt water.
You can buy these ones at a reasonable price - they have a stainless cap on the end which I am guessing wouldn't last long in salt water.
You can also buy them with a plastic cap, like this
But they are 5 times+ the cost of the stainless steel ones.
If I melted some plastic and then dipped the stainless steel version into the plastic - would that work? Would the plastic retain it's pre-melted characteristics?
