No doubt you have other similar replies, but I've used a short length of inner tube (very useful old inner tubes). Wrap once around the tube and a second time, this time fitting in a pencil or biro piece or equivalent. You can then nip some cable ties up, and when it comes to removing it, you can slide out the sandwiched packing part to give you room to cut the cable ties, without any damage to whatever shape the tube is. I did this once with mine, no evidence of anything ever being fitted.
