YAG laser masking

I am searching for a masking agent to mask the inner cavity of an aerospace component during the YAG laser process. Is there a maskant that will prevent laser breakthrough in to un-machined areas available?

I would like to know the types of materials that are available to prevent YAG laser second surface strikes when drilling holes into turbine engine components?

Thank You
