OK, check this out: http://www.strapworks.com/Tubular_Nylon_s/62.htm
Tubular Nylon webbing makes great chafe material. This stuff normally is
used for strapping, lifting, etc, but in the hollow version, just cut to
length and slip over your line. It comes in sizes from 1/2" up to 2" on this
site; that's the flat size, so you'll have to convert to ID. $1.20/ft by the
foot, or buy a big roll and sell it to your friends. If this site doesn't
have what you want, there are all kinds of suppliers out there, just search
for "nylon webbing". For that matter, you can get webbing in polyester or
polypropylene if you want.
You can get the stuff in flat as well, and just wrap your lines if you
prefer. It'll get wet, so it won't self destruct because of heat. Relatively
inexpensive and easy to find, even comes in colors.
