The idea was new to me Bob, and thanks for the tip.  I looked it
up on Google and found this site (among many others)

Looks like it's good for 500 deg F and OK for microwave
use and it even comes in colors!   Sewing a strip of it into
a cylinder sounds a bit tedious, but mechanically secure
if the thread can take the RF and heat.
Does anyone know if the material can be glued?  Or, could
the strip be cut longer, forming a thicker cylinder and then
use a couple of nylon(?) tie-wraps to hold it in place?
