My favorite method for containing the ropes was to drill a small hole
thru the element tip (and rope) and screw in a small SS self tapping
screw (long enough to exit the opposite side of the tube). That allows
any moisture to drip out, and is a relatively permanent solution.

Paul,
My HyGain 5-el 10m (LJ-105BA or similar) yagi has what looks like black
polypropolene inside the elements.
It's pretty small..1/4" maybe?
It's held "in" by the end caps on the elements, which of course, crack and
fall off. I think I eventually lost
1 of the ropes.
I'd probably do a "gob of silicone" or something if I was to ever redo it.
