This is regarding the following sensor:
https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php?title=Capacitive_Soil_Moisture_Sensor_SKU:SEN0193
It is stated that "The components on this board are NOT waterproof, do not expose to moisture further than the red line. (If you want to protect components from the elements, try using a length of wide heat shrink tubing around the upper-section of the board.)"
I don't have heat shrink tubing wide enough to cover it. I was thinking I could just use some hot glue instead. As in cover the electronics completely in hot glue. Is there any reason to avoid this? Is it likely to work, or to fail?
