[Milsurplus] Old rubber covered wires

I guess Glyptal would work but it gets real hard and brittle.  That is
why it was used as a witness mark on cables and pots.  Isn't there a
plastic coating, with a high voltage breakdown, used for bare metal tools
that stays pliable?  I would think it would work out better but I don't
know about the cost which is also a consideration.
Regards,
Jim
