Gary appreciate the suggestion. I have not decided on a material yet. I have been acquiring a number of different plastics, all uV stable that I plan to test in the downstairs dungeon RF lab. I will be looking for the IL and to see if the RL of the feed changes with the covering in place. Refraction thru the plastic is another concern but I do not have an easy way to test those effects downstairs.

Thin is better in all cases.
Saran Wrap might work - you'd have to look at the UV resistance.
I know Kapton has no UV problems, because we use it in space all the time.
