Hello David,
If it must not be especially resistant to anything (heat, chemicals) You
can find a kind of rubber paint in do-it-yourself-stores, its normally
used to coat hammer shafts or handles of pliers (should at least be
resistant to oil, used on tools?) It produces a 1-2 mm thick film of
rubber like plastic. Don t know if it works on glass lab ware, but maybe
it s a hint to follow up^�
