I just put up on You Tube a part 2 about using PVC tubing as chafe protection on standing rigging. A 13 foot length of tubing cost me, here in Sri Lanka, 30 cents. Far cheaper than chafe protection bought at a marine store! But, the PVC is impervious to the UV rays of the sun and will last longer than anything offered at the marine store. Video 2 covers how to make a fine, long, slit in the PVC so it will snap over the wire stay plus how to get rid of the meat hook, which is always left, when snipping the excess off of a plastic wire tie. I hope the information will be useful to you.
