Mains dropper on a DAC90a

[Bushbaby]

Hi All,
I'll post this in greater detail on success stories later. I worked on an Ivory Bush DAC90a yesterday (waxies all replaced etc) and it sounds really good. However, I am a wee bit concerned about the condition of the resistive dropper. Its working but the coating surrounding it is beginning to crack and crumble - is there anything I can do to halt this? Perhaps some form of heat resistant sealant??

Regards

i did use plaster of paris once but thats because a section of th dropper had gone open circuit and i had to resort to scraping the covering off till i found the break then unwound one turn and twisted the ends together next covered with plaster cant say how long it lasted told the owner it was tep until a replacment dropper could be got , he then moved and we never saw it again so if anyone comes across a thorn 1400 with a white dropper section youl know why.i know it was a bodge but he was desperate for the set
