I have a few bare copper wires (stips 1/2" wide 1.5 ft long) that are
temporarily not needed.
While I do have fiberglass insulating sleeve that I plan on using when
I finally wire everything for the final wiring, I want to isolate a
few wires temporarily, and would prefer not to cut the fiberglass
sleeve yet.
I have some old junk garden hose that is relatively flexible, made of
some soft material, softer than rubber.
Would it be able to be an isolator up to 150 volts or so?

Probably PVC, with some glass fibers probably. Should be fine for
150V, but not much temperature, so make sure it doesn't get hot. Also
poisonous (chlorine) if burned, IIRC.

Thank you, unless something goes seriously wrong, there should not be
temperature issues. PVC with glass fibers sounds like a good
guess. This is temporary for testing only.

Think about draining the hose first!

Go for it.
My friend and I went to Vacaville to get an old Cadillac he
bought. When we got there, Mr. Farmerguy had used one of the
ignition leads for his tractor or something. So we made a
replacement for the Caddy using an old coat hanger and some
garden hose.
Drove it back to Yuba City just fine.
