Do you use any "dip-it" also found in the hardware store to "pad" the ends?

Can anyone give a brand name for this? It would be a godsend to me,
as I have 5 farthingales to make in the next month or so, and
"Farthingales" connectors - wouldn't you know - don't fit the steel I

Farthingales - the postage costs and customs duty would be prohibitive.)
