Did you get it wet

I did, yeah... Unfortunately.
It had been installed on my Carboy for about a month, sat in water overnight before I realized it was under...
EDIT: Sorry about the pics; that counter was not the best background unfortunately.

I ruined one like it that way when I first started using them, even though I read the instructions saying not to get them wet.

Carefully applied clear packing tape will help delay that happening from general washing/soaking. I dunno about soaking for a long period.
Sure looks like it got wet.

They're pretty cheap to replace if you want.

Thanks for the tips all; I just picked up a 5 gallon better bottle for a secondary, so I'll have to get 2 new fermometers now.
I'll make sure to post them a little higher this time
