Aquadag (the full name) can be purchased and applied easily, but I wouldn't bother until you're sure you need it.

Well I did notice it is not applied near the high voltage connector but I was thinking it was worn off due to the unevenness of it all. Toward the top it's chipping and peeling. After I recap it then perhaps I will see where I am with this aspect.
