statesquider 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'd agree with the absorbant sachet but i'd be careful about the salt... Bloody corrosive stuff as we all know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catch-nun 2 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I have also lost a new phone and a $500 camera after getting dumped in my canoe by that last bloody wave.bloody port river fishing trawlers what's the first you do when back to shore?? see if they work not until after, do you realise NOT to turn on your camera/ phone.you are supposed to let them dry out completely before attempting to turn them on :S :S :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He says best thing is to soak anything like ya camera or phone in pure Metho as soon as possible, as it drives the moisture out, and then evaporates quickly itself.Do it over a bucket and if it doesnt work, at least ya can drown your sorrows with the drips Good luck with it RN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not the first time one of my many phone have ended up in the drink. It does Not matter how many times you say to yourself " I will Never do that again" sooner or later it happen again. Hopefully one or both will work and save me alot of money on phones and that will in turn give me more money to buy tackel and that means more fishing. That means one HAPPY Watersnake :woohoo: THANKS GUYS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
