I have long given up trying to waterproof boxes from Rain.
I keep them rain proof and make sure there are multiple places for water to
run out.
I also do a lot with Alpine Ski racing and we have timing boxes, no
different than a Beverage box, scattered all over ski hills. Same
practice. Just make sure you have it somewhat ventilated.
If you open a box and it is full of water, you then have a problem. :)
