Both seem like a great way.
Cause both seem to hydrate the rubber parts, but mod podge alone seems to seal them too.

i hope this mod podge works in the long run. im going to get ED 209. i missed out on the first ED209. dont want to pass this one up. hopefully everything will be fine with this problem.
Waiting is understandable. Many like myself were first time adopters preordering on day one and now we're paying for it. I myself ordered from an outside retailer that will not accept returns so I am SOL. One could wait till prices drop even more. Ed-209s on HLJ and ebay are already selling for more than 100 off retail so it may yet reach 250.
Was aiming to get some mod podge for my alien dog but never got around it now i definitly gotta get some for ed too
Thanks for the tip
Rivera2171, same questions about Ed and do you have any pics of the legs rubbers?
Thanks guys
I applied the matte mod podge after I cleaned the silicon grease off. I just used water and a tooth brush to clean the grease off. Happy to say that the mod podge adhered nicely.
Just like Rivera mentioned, it goes on like thinned glue. I spread it out with a medium brush. While wet, the dome looked a little more white in some spots despite my best efforts to spread the mod podge evenly. I was a little nervous but after 5 minutes the entire surface of the dome dried to a nice even matte finish. I'm happy with the results.
I eventually applied 2 coats on the accordion parts and 5 coats on the dome. I had to apply more coats to the dome to completely fill some cracks in the front. The cracks are finally gone now. I'll post pics when I get home from work.
I'm afraid to anything to mine for a while. Just in case HT announce some kind of replacement dome. Highly doubtful, but doing anything to it first will no doubt void my claim. I honestly think they are all cracking, some faster than others. So there will be uproar surely in next couple of months as it gets worse and worse.
This is a problem which isn't going away for HT, it's like a ticking time bomb, especially since they have two Robos on the way.

About four coats on the dome and a couple on the legs.View attachment 124892View attachment 124893
I would like to see how the dome looks in matte.
