I would,nt think you need anything like that .way too much work involved for just a spigot . Im sure that involves wrapping carbon etc

For years I used candle wax rubbed spigot. Now I think they have graphite spray

I did consider using a larger diameter shrink tube to suit the spigot diameter, but my thinking was it would build the spigot up too much.....as Jeff is a rod builder with an excellent reputation i would value his advise over others,

The problem with shrink tube is its more likely for both sections to get stuck .

Clean the spigot with alcohol or similar. The give it a very light coat of black car primer . Leave overnight . Repeat if necessary. But do very thin coats. Should last 12 months.

I have used a pencil to build up the graphite on a spigot before and seemed to work ok.
