You have all seen the fringe that hangs down near the wheels of a UPS
tractor trailer.

What is that stuff called and where can it be obtained?

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.

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

They also sell it at trailer and camper/RV dealers

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".g

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