I greased and Densoed mine then wrapped them with sash cord from B and Q. It was easier to do than leather gaiters. I bought a set of Wefco gaiters for my chummy 50 years ago but after about 35 years of use they had had it. I think they are still available( for a price!) We have discussed this before on the forum and no, binding the springs with cord doesn’t make the springs stiffer.
