From my experience with old cork floats, is that the old original varnish has cracked and has begun flaking. Gentle cleaning will remove much of the loose old varnish but still concern for flakes to come off and plug things up… recoating “glues” it all back nice and secure.
As for California, how do old timey gas model airplane guys do without hot fuel proof dope? Maybe track down an old school hobby shop for the dope.
Another thought, some guys use Red Coat fuel tank coating for coating cork floats.
