Hi Jeff: and James:
Get out your OM Touchup paint kit- a little flat blackenamel painted on
reseals the case and hides the white stuff too. It works - if you don't have
OM touchup paint check out Micro Tools they have both flat and glossy
touchup paint, touchup pens and both aluminum black and brass blackening
agents.
