Default Split driven element insulation... ?

Problem exists how to get reliable insulation to split driven element
and support rod which is exposed to RF voltage ?
Fiberglass is told to be sensitive creating conductive coal brigdes
which creates true resistive short at driving point ? (at least one
fiberglass tubing is done so... gap was 2 inches )

How to improve insulation ? Ptfe-shield over fiberglass rod, heat shrink
tubing, varnish layer ?


The traditional approach is to use glazed ceramic insulators, I
believe.
