Having seen a lots of suggestions here, I believe all are just "talk" and
don't expect the originator put it into trial :-) I just happen to work on
this field and know a little about the potting compound needed but it is not
a consumer stuff and I think you cannot get it easily.
You can found a proper varnish for the transformer for T32 below:

We use one that need baking but since we have no idea on the temp capability
of the transformer in T32, it is better to select an air-dry one.
