Brian, I use Zebo black lead grate polish for stopping scaling on the inside of gun barrels for a particular process but it is "supported" with steel plugs so not sure how it would perform just painted on but maybe you can make a plug with some clearance and a washer either side well lubricated with Zebo.

It certainly stops any scaling for me. Just google Zebo black lead.
