Hmmm, that's an interesting idea. As long as as there wasn't a way for water to get under the edge, I think it could work. I would probably be more inclined to use a paint/dip type coating, though.

Shrink tube actually sounds like it would work decent for the coil spring area. It works fabulous for wiring in all places except fuel injection. The temps are too high in the engine compartment. The tube keeps shrinking. Cool ideas. Ray

AHHH, heat shrink can come in sizes big enough to wrap around an Elephant leg! The key to using it when it is that large is to heat it up evenly so that it doesnt wrinkle and cause pockets which WILL cause moisture to condense and cause rust.
