Lyn -
If you clean the parts well, Rustoleum brush on works as well and you can buy it in pints. (And comes in a variety of colors!)

Eastwood was selling it and also WW Grainger. I bought the last pint from Eastwood

The Eastwood brand is much thinner than original GE glyptal. .......I dont think the adheasion is as good either . .....I have a block I painted with GE Glyptal 35 years ago when I worked for GE apparatus service div. and it has held up much better than newer blocks painted with the Eastwood paint................I used to take that stuff home by the gallon! ....It was actually intended for painting and insulating electrical windings and high voltage connections.........Is it still available from Grainger? ..I havent seen it in the catalogue. ..............Tom

Eastwoood has it for sale on eBay for 38.99

The glyptal website lists several dealers, however Grainger is not on the list.
http://www.glyptal.com/Distributor.htm

Their product page shows part # 1201B which is a higher solid, higher viscosity version.

EIS has the 1201 for $36.41 and the 1201B for $38.25 per quart.

Someone told me about a product by Sprayon Co. called red insulating varnish.It is sold by Grainger and is only about $4. per can.Will give it a try.
