Outer coating on 10BP4 peeling

[dreyfoos]

Here's a product (Slip-Plate) that fills the bill and the price is right. The last can I bought, 12 oz. aerosol, cost $6.28 - purchased two years ago, at W. W. Grainger (Grainger's) in South San Francisco. They have 425 branches in the U.S. so there should be one near you.

The basic ingredient is graphite in acetone and petroleum solvents.

This is from the label: "Graphite is electrically conductive and may cause short circuits or other electrical malfunctions." Perfect!

I've heard that the bulk of the customers for this product are farmers who spray it on surfaces that typically gum up on harvesting equipment.

With careful removal of the old dag and appropriate masking of your tube and careful application it will come out looking factory fresh. I use a paper towel cardboard over the neck and cut a nice circle of Contact paper over the anode socket to closely duplicate the original dag coverage.
