 ===== The Plan ===== ===== The Plan =====
  
-I wanted to run a medium-duration test of the electrically-complete blinker before going through all the trouble and expense of encasing it in aluminium and glass. I decided to cast the electronics in transparent resin. This would be reasonably mechanically and chemically robust, but it would degrade in sunlight over a few years, turning yellow and crumbling. This would give me a test good enough to check for any drastic short-term problems with the electronics.+I wanted to run a medium-duration test of the electrically-complete blinker before going through all the trouble and expense of encasing it in aluminium and glass.
