Re: Coating the amature . . .
Good question... i just ordered a can of
CRC Urethane Seal Coat Viscous Liquid Coating, Red
hope this is the right stuff, it's identified in the Model A Generator book, says to soak in it but I ordered a spray can, Is this going to work or am I asking for Trouble

X4 on the Glyptol.
The power plant I worked at used Glyptol on EVERY motor, both exposed armature windings and the field coils. They claimed it prevented "working" of the wires under magnetic stress, and consequent wear-through of the varnish insulation.
It is a ***** to get off for re-winding, however. By the time you get to that point you're talking a major rebuild anyway.
It is also used a lot on the interior of cast iron motors/transmissions after tanking or blasting. Seals in the errant pieces of sand or grit and makes an interior surface the oil can "slip down on" easily.

X5 on the Glyptol,
Have used it for a lot longer time than I would like to admit. The first time I used Glyptol was when I was working on Model A's to make a little money for collage. That was 66 years ago. Been using it every since.
