I'm painting the inside of a small block with rustolium and i need something to stick in the lifter bores besides corks cause I'm all out.
Any suggestions?

ya know what that i don't know my dad gets his from where he works but they are sponge and may soak up paint so if you do use that idea i'd wrap them with a bit of plastic cling wrap and put them in liek that they'll expand and push the plastic out and you won't have to worry about paint soaking into them but i'm not sure where you'd get them
