If you are forced to use PVC, then try to find something white.

Another long shot: If you know someone, like a local jeweler, who could cut and smooth the edges, then spare lamp glasses for petroleum lamps might be an option. The long glass tube would have about the right diameter, and the material is about as good as it gets. They aren't expensive either.

Once cut down to size, you could attach fittings using two component epoxy glue (Araldite).
