Fix An Underwater Camera With Duct Tape

If you are planning a trip to an oceanic location where you will be taking numerous pictures, having an underwater camera with you is a great idea. Like any other piece of equipment you would have with you, the underwater camera may give you some difficulties if its parts begin to loosen a bit while in the water. To resolve the issue, be sure you pack a roll of duct tape and keep it handy for quick repairs.


Instructions


1. Dry the camera off completely. Air drying is best, but if you have the ability to use a hair dryer or soft towel to remove all moisture, go ahead and do that.


2. Locate the cracked or broken areas.


3. Cut strips of duct tape to the correct size. Make thin strips that will cover the damage and seal them completely.


4. Place the strips onto the damaged areas one at a time. Press firmly when applying so there is no way for water to get under the duct tape once it is re-submerged into the water. As long as the surface you are applying the tape to is dry, then water cannot get underneath it.


5. Layer the strips on top of each other, making sure to cover the edges of the tape from the previous strip.
