Ive used a hard wood dowel to do it as well. Its way more important to seal the cap. Try RTV silicone it dont come loose like regular silicone.

Purely cosmetic OBN?
Not really sealing anything out.

I don't think it's purely cosmetic as it does offer some waterproofing for the 2 small screws on either side that hold the end caps in. I used PlastiDip with a brush and gave it 2-3 coats and it worked great.

Felix that is a great idea!! How does that stuff hold up in the saltwater, reason I used the black on the PP toggle. It did do great but came loose after a few months. But I do like the sealing factor and it looks great.
Originally it was design to keep the sand from getting into the area between the pod and oring. Some of the early sword models did not have it so then they seen a issue and started it. But me like dew I do seal the gap with aquaseal and the allens..let dry and then put a few small dabs on the same area then slip the black shrink wrap over then let it dry..then all is totally sealed.
You can see I do treat my stuff ruff...and the sand never got into since the gap and allens were sealed.
Also last winter I replaced the orings and gave it 8 month in the testing, sealed the orings with aquaseal..then checked them after several hundred hours of submerged salt water hunting.
