Thanks guys.

Might have a spray gun. Truly clean air is less easy, but I've got a rotary
vane compressor (Hydrovane).

Think the stuff is too thick to spray without diluting. Data sheet suggests
xylene, which potentiality raises safety issues... not sure quite what I
can did here.

Might be best to get some quotes for commercial application  (otherwise we
will probably just brush it on to a few critical areas where high voltage
differential is present, and divider chains where change in impedance might
cause misreading.
