Valve Cover Rubber Dip Question

[bassmun]

Hey folks, I'm working on restoring some old valve covers for my motor. Do any of you all have tips for how to go about recreating the rubberized coating found on the ends up the spark plug wire guides?

Maybe try Plasti-Dip

I used Plasti-dip and applied several coats with a small solder resin brush and built it up until I got the thickness I wanted.

Works on pliers, too.

Plasti-dip. I sometimes find it’s too thick. So I take some out in a separate small container and thin with a few drops of acetone. Then do multiple dips until it is thickness you want…or thick enough so that the wires will get slightly nipped.

yup!

Good to see someone else cleans up/fixes their old tools!

There is a dip product for it. I think @dadsbee did this recently

I restore and customize parts for a living, and add yet another vote for PlastiDip. CaswellPlating.com has it for a good price and ships quickly since I can't find it locally out here in the boonies.
