That copper scrubby worked great [or at least know; not sure about a few days and certainly not 20 years]! With the woven pattern, I just unrolled it (but still woven) and cut off about the right looking length [about the OD of the pipe, the pad width was about twice as long as the retaining wire].

Finally, used a long screwdriver to pack the rest down into the retaining wire.
Plenty tight, but not rock dense either.
Looks like the retaining wire stayed fairly centered on the bottom, but even if not, it'd still had to break the mesh to escape.
