[TowerTalk] fiberglass spreaders

I want to install a couple folded dipoles for 160 meters using some 
weather resistant light weight small diameter rod. I plan on holding 
two #16 wires about a foot apart.

I was somewhat unsuccessful cutting lexan sheet in my metal 
sheer because of the way it bends and tears instead of snipping off 
cleanly, and I'd like to use rod anyway to reduce wind load...maybe 
something 1/4 inch or less diameter.

Any ideas?
