I like the poly idea but I was under the impression that poly still melt easily from this thread: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121185


Another poster mentioned trying them here and still having meltage until they heat wrapped the pipe: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show...0&postcount=23
