Ok thanks for the good ideas. I am now thinking a really soft seal could work well. Maybe 30A-40A. I'll try a couple and see what works.

I am making a craft from primarily 3d printed parts. The 3d printed hull contains all of the electronics. This hull is basically a tub and a lid. They meet at a somewhat flat perimeter surface that will be held together with small wood screws every 15mm. The issue is that this meeting/sealing surfac...
