Has anyone ever used ACF-50 (misspelled as acf50) to protect their electronics (phone, tablet, audio player, etc) from water/moisture?

Question

There really isn't much answers in terms of using it on electronics except for those cheap bicycle lights (dropped in a cup of water while it's on!). I'm talking about smartphones (or candybar, flip feature phones, or those using kaiOS), audio/video player/recorders (known as mp4, mp3, etc), camcorders/digital cameras, portable speakers, etc,

Would it actually work to keep water completely off the circuit board and all connections so it doesn't get destroyed? Thank you in advance for any/all answers, no matter how ridiculous they may sound or be. (and it'll contribute to the community, because there's always somebody LOOKING for an answer using a web search).

A spray will only work on something that's fairly well sealed in the first place, to prevent water getting through tight joints, around seals or through threads.

Phones that have eg. headphone sockets, USB ports and gaps around buttons have too many possible water ingress points that are too large to properly seal with such a spray - unless the manufacturer designs them to be water resistant from the start, with all sealed components.
