   Several commercial cavities that I worked on had a very thin "fiber glass + epoxy" cylinder that 
dropped down around the fins, it was a sheet that was glued into a cylinder with a white cement I 
was once told it was done with "dental cement." ??? They were 1/32" thick or thinner.
G-10 has been known to support combustion, most of the fiber glass + epoxy that I have found near 
high Voltage was made with a white hard glue that looked like white epoxy, but obviously is different.
