Please help me with fiber bobbin related issues

Hello, first of all, please understand how to use Google Translate.
I'm using Schecter Japan's Super Rock J pickup, which is a fiber bobbin pickup.

Occasionally when using this pickup, it makes a noise when I touch the north low E-string bobbin.

In the case of fiber bobbin, I heard that moisture or sweat can cause problems, but there is a story that it gets better if you apply wax, so I applied Renaissance wax, but it didn't have much effect.

I was going to change the pickup, but I like the sound of this pickup, so I'm thinking about what to do.

I tested it just in case, and there is no noise when I wear rubber gloves and touch the bobbin.

Do any of you have the same problem or have you solved it?

If that doesn't work, I'm debating whether or not to put on a nickel pickup cover. Occasionally, while playing, if I touch the bobbin, it makes a noise, so it's very stressful.

Thank you for your help.

Easiest answer would be a small piece of electrical tape.
Even clear plastic tape would probably work, and should be nearly invisible.
