Product review (5 stars): Tipping my hat for "tips"!
Nice product!  I had "painted" the tips before using the product intended for that.  The painting was tedious, had a strong odor, and the results did not last long at all.  So, stuck with the same problem, I ordered these tips.  They were easy to install and they look great.  They protect the dishes from rusted tip stains!  I also used the silicone tape for other spots, as recommended on one review.  I've had them for a few months now with no problems.
