I have a very small 4mm diameter x 5mm length stainless steel spring in a small cheap consumer device. It is used to lock a latch in place.

The issue is that the spring's enclosure is aluminum but the spring itself is stainless steel. When used in salt water environments the spring quickly corrodes and breaks.

Is there a product that I can use to spray the spring or the enclosure walls with a very thin layer of a flexible non-conductive substance such as silicone?
