UPS truck wheel fringe

I find it all the time when I'm out running. They fall off along the roads. If you've got any friends that work for the highway department or are doing community service road cleanup (don't laugh, buddy of mine found a Snap-On Torque wrench still in its factory box along I-5 - he figures his 10 hours of community service paid for itself right there) ask them to keep an eye open.

Like this stuff:

It's a strip brush and it ain't cheap! Truck repair/supply.

Tom,

Seeing as how you are our resident brush expert, why would such a brush be pricy?

Spray Guard is one brand. Most heavy truck shops keep it in stock. Only problem I've had with it was ice build-up in the winter.

The machinery is expensive, not a lot of companies make it because it is "Black Magic" to feed fiber and/or wire into the machine evenly. Those companies that do it have a lock and there's not the "new" business to attract competition. If I could get an account to justify the investment.... Cart, horse, horse, cart...Hmmm.

My wife refers to it as "baleen".

Thanks Tom, I didn't realise that it would be much different stuffing longer fibers into a hole than it woulld shorter ones.

Astroturf doormat works just as well.
