The green colored SDR (sewer & drain) works very good for small and medium
size TC service.  Wipe it down with paint thinner inside and out to remove
any organics and then sand it lightly inside and out.

Coat with 2 coats of red Glyptal inside and out.  Allow to dry overnight on
each coat.  After winding 3 more thin coats of clear Glyptal completes the
project.  Glyptal available in almost any large electric motor shop that
does rewinding.
