Keep in mind that this will change the cooling time of the wires. They
will "relax" slower than they would without a cover. Unless the teflon
tubing can stand repeated compression, (I'm only familiar with a rigid
type) you will need to leave about 5/8" exposed for every 12" run of wire
(12*.05 = .6" ~ 5/8; assuming 5% wire)

Seems to me that you could simply rope off the area as they do in any
museum or put it in a plexiglass box
