I have never seen these but I did look online at them...They look ok and should do the job for you.

Seems a bit much to me.
Never tried it myself but was thinking about using a platic mesh to fabricate a guard then remembered this:

It doesn't mention what type of plastic it is so not sure how it'd stand up to temps but might be an economical alternative.

Its much thicker & harder than the onion stuff. It's used in industrial applications to protect parts so is rather robust.

ok, thanks Lorne, gonna check it out since it's stronger plastic... the onion bags would melt , but this is a possibility ,many thanks ,
