'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
Any ideas?
cheers

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.)
