Log/depthsounder LCD Readouts

[Inselaffe]

Hello all,

The LCD display windows on my (old) log and echolot have suffered from the environment. The plastic screen is a bit yellowed and the surface is ruffed up a bit, making them hard to read.

But, when they are wet I can see the numbers better, because the water surface is smooth.

So.... I had a bright idea of coating them with something since when I was studying someone sprayed paint over the display of my calculator, after I scratched the paint off the display was scratched and unreadable so I thought I'd make it smooth again by painting a thin cover of superglue over it - and it worked.

But I'm a bit loathe to try it on my log and lot which at least are now working...

Has anyone any advice/suggestions?

The screen is polarised isn't it?

Thanks

Leigh

You can get plastic polishes, many work a little like T-cut and cut the plastic back to a polished surface. Worked well for me on an old compass and one of my cockpit instruments that had become pitted. Can take some time though, rubbing it in for 10 minutes or so if there are many scratches etc.
