That is exactly what I would do. You can get UHMW poly from either
MSC or Grainger. I got a little from MSC to have some around.

Haven't read ed's link yet, but does it have any "give" to it, is it

It tends to "cold flow" when compressed, so I would say that using it in
compression might require replacing it often.
