Title: Sick of scrubbing the muck off your Explorer S/XS/2 i know i was ! Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on October 30, 2008, 01:04:25 PM After a hard days Dectecting the last thing i think about is cleaning my white coloured Detector , when i get around to doing it the mucks caked on :( Ive started using VET WRAP on my Explorer its a non sticky tape that sticks to itself its washable and hard wearing. I wrap it just under the stand over the cheap looking tape grip and down the white shaft as far as the adjustable carbon bit (and no i dont cover the control box that would be silly lol) Vets use it to bind Horse,s and other animals parts together It comes in every colour you can think of ( i wouldnt recomend Green you may loose your detector for good lol) Ive done mine black to hide the dirt and i pretend my EX11 is an Explorer SE :P You can get it at the Vets,Ebay,Farm shops and that sort of place Anyone got any neat ways of protecting the headphone socket and plug from bad weather ? I use a bicycle intube from a kids bike.about 3 inchs. I cable tie the tube to the cable and pull the tube tighly over the Plug and socket and battery door Regards Phil Jones Title: Re: Sick of scrubbing the muck off your Explorer S/XS/2 i know i was !

Post by: 16.5DD (richard) on March 12, 2009, 10:02:44 PM well i would also do this .
seal your explorer/etrac with a fully waterproof sealer then apply that tape i use sticky insulation tape from wilkinsons black. ok it sticks and mark but a good clean with white vinigar does the trick. similar to phils great idea for head phones try a rubber glove thatat works but the inner tube seems much better i tried the cut down lucasade bottle keep loosing them halfway through the day. other thing to do if it gets mud on it just leave it dirty lol |
