My inside plastic housing has some holes in it and for push buttons. I was thinking of over-molding rubber on top of it and was wondering how well the rubber would seal out water. If I had a leakage path of one inch and held my product in a bucket with a foot of water above do you think the rubber-over-plastic could keep water out for a few days?
