'noon all,
I need a couple (initially at least) of convoluted rubber / black
fabric gaiters / bellows.
They are to seal the dust out from an area in front of a camera lens,
and so need to
be conical in shape, one from about 2"dia upto 4x6 rectangle in about
2", and one from 1"dia upto
4"x3" rectangle in about 2".

Any ideas?

cheers

Dave

Turn up / machine a male blank, and coat it with tool dip plastic
coating - not the cutting tool stuff but the sort intended for making
comfortable handle Plastidip I think it's called - J&L stock it. Peel
off when dry

Just out of interest - what is the name of the plastic stuff with
preservative oil on the inside. I have recently acqured some old
toolmaker apprentice pieces from the 1960s and the clear plastic
(dipped? brushed-on?) casing has kept them like new.

Crocel is one trade name, sold by J&L

Incidentally, small cheap deep fat friers can be set to just the right
temperature for Crocel - I used one for several years before I tripped
over a genuine Crocel Pot. (But make sure your frier is the sort with
the elements bonded to the outside of the container leaving a smooth
inner surface, or it's hard to clean out.)
