Thanks. I was actually looking at
this paint. My idea is to drop a little bit of the paint where the lead is surrounded by glass, then soldering the new lead to the dried paint. I'd then take some heat shrink tubing and wrap up the whole she-bang to prevent arcing. Finally, I'd wrap up the old leads, then thread on the socket and use a heat resistant adhesive to hold the base on. Solder the base's leads and call it good.
