All PVC is not created equal.   Put on your experimenter's hat and step into 
the laboratory, er,  kitchen.  Put  some of the PVC in question into the 
microwave  and fire it up.  How long is up to you, after all it's your 
experiment and your microwave.   When the bell rings touch the PVC.  Cool? 
Slightly warm? Or too hot to touch?  The hotter it is the more energy it 
absorbed and the less suitable it is for   RF.  If you goofed and set it for 
half an hour and walked away, you may find a microwave full of boilling goo. 
In which case you get to buy a new microwave and take the old one apart for 
more experiments.

73, Steve  KW3A
