Default Insulator Glazing

I need to know if anyone has experience based suggestions on how to seal th
e chips in the glazing of the porcelain insulators that are part of some of
the old antenna and mast kits that I have. It would seem to me that the c
hipped glazing is a way for water to saturate the porcelain and render the
insulator ineffective.

Before someone says just replace them let me tell you that they are part of
swaged; as in crimped with metal bands; guy assemblies so there is nothing
short of building new guy lines that would permit the replacement of the i
nsulators.

If you don't have an answer to the question that I have actually asked just
go on to the next posting. NOTHING TO SEE HERE! MOVE ALONG!

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer that will actually solve th
e problem.
