I'd be nervous about putting anything with out-gassing potential inside my OTA. Richard's advice might make me re-think flocking the interior, though.

I use EVA75 foam (6mm) as a dew shield for my C14 - it's lightweight and naturally matt black. My next move is to re-do it with 1.2m wide foam to insulate the OTA as well (with a one-piece foam roll) in a bid to stop tube currents. Alex (of Astro Shop) has been talking about that for a while, so I figured I'd give it a try. I don't know if that's any use to you.
Yes flicking inside makes me a bit nervous too. I’m keen to know if anyone’s found a visible difference with flicking inside? I’ve already got the ota insulated but might look into the foam idea for the shield…
