If you put it on thin enough i'm sure it would. But i must put mine on thick because it always has taken a couple days to dry on all the builds i have done.



Nice looking build Jim.

I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism. You may want to darken the face of the camera with a sharpie, electrical tape, or some paint. The silver shows up pretty good through the lenses. I had to do that to most of my homebrews. If the liquid nails still looks shiney when it dries you may want to hit it with a cote of flat clear too.

Keep up the good work.

I don't mind at all, that's the way we all learn and I am by no means an expert at this. I see what you mean by darkening the camera, I will give it a try.

Yeticam sells a very complete kit, camera not included. With theirs all you have to do is add the camera and put things together.

Here's the pros and cons on store bought versus homebrew. Pic. quality from the homebrews is usually superior to anything. You can get alot more features in a commercial cam. Sensing seems to be better from homebrews. Trigger speed is a little better overall than commercial cams, unless it's a Reconyx or a Cuddeback. Cost is usually less in a homebrew but not alot less. Alot depends on the application for which it will be used. If you going to set it up over a feeder or bait, nearly any camera will do. Off subject, but what does a decent lease in Ohio go for and where can I get information about it?
