What I've learned from revision 2 PCB

I also wanted to experiment with waterproofing because it must be wearable. The boards were poured over with super clear epoxy resin.

The epoxy was pretty thin. In the beginning it made a nice layer but after 6 hours most of the epoxy dripped off the board. It does not have same thickness everywhere. The epoxy does not fill the holes around the supercapacitor because it is too thin. The epoxy layer on the surface mount solar cells is actually ugly
