Better to use rotatating guides on bearings at the entrance and exit holes.
Plastic would burn through in no time at all.

The Spectra could be protected from the edges with a cut-able,
thin wall plastic tube inserted into the through-hole.

I didn't mean to use the guillotine in place guide rollers. With the
Spectra under tension, guide rollers should prevent it from touching the
guillotine.

However, a thin plastic tube would keep dirt and moisture out of the
guillotine block so it wouldn't rust or jam. It would also prevent the
Spectra from touching the steel edges when not under tension.
