Tek Circuit Computer: Water Test

So the question came up: “Exactly what happens when one of those things gets wet?”

Which obviously requires an experiment:

Laminated Tek CC vs Water - start
Laminated Tek CC vs Water – start

That’s the mis-cut top deck revealing why GRBL really needs four digits after the decimal point, but, other than that, it’s perfectly representative of the genre: heavy paper, good ink, nicely laminated in plastic.

Prediction: water should seep into the paper, dissolve the ink, maybe delaminate the plastic, and generally make a mess.

Which is exactly what happens:

Laminated Tek CC vs Water - finish
Laminated Tek CC vs Water – finish
