dave-o 0 Posted July 6, 2010 I've been trying some split-views lately and am having a problem with water droplets staying on the "above" half of the dome. Is there a secret to keeping them off? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fotoscubo714 0 Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) I've been trying some split-views lately and am having a problem with water droplets staying on the "above" half of the dome. Is there a secret to keeping them off? Thanks Recommend you do a WP search here, since it has been discussed in various forms (like this one). I remember discussions about dome licking and spit. Got a little TMI for me Bo Edited July 6, 2010 by fotoscubo714 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks If your dome is glass, RainX works quite well but is not recommended (and that is a true non-recommendation) for plastic domes. For plastic you might try defog of your choice or maybe an incantation or two (which anecdotally at least works occaisionally). A really clean dome is key; if there are no condensation points for a drop to form you will have lots less trouble. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ornate_wrasse 0 Posted July 11, 2010 I'm guessing you have a glass dome port, as according to your profile, you are using a Subal housing with an 8" dome port. If that's the case, Rain-X will work very well. Like another poster said, though, don't use it on an acrylic port. I like the individual use packages of Rain-X that I get in any auto parts store. They are especially good if you're traveling and don't want to carry a bottle of the stuff in your luggage. Hope that helps, Ellen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
