Dust shoe bristles

[charlieuk]

I have been looking for some bristles to make a dust shoe however I need them to be as long as posable ie maybe something like 100-150mm. All the door dust strips I have found are normally only sold in 3m lengths and mounted in a metal track so no good for a curved shoe , it was also incredibly expensive for long bristles. Are there any other solutions to the problem or somewhere were I can get shorter lengths? Many thanks

It should be possible to bend it.

CAMSTRIP is the required search term I think, I did see it on a roll once.

what i did was cut a channel and then i found a paint brush and cut the bristles off. I then super glued them into the channel. Its held up quite well so far and pretty cheap.

I'd forgotten about that, someone mentioned it a while back, hot melt glue would work well too I imaging, I think that's the right answer for me.

the only problem i had with super glue was it creeped up the bristles a bit so maybe a resin/epoxy might be better or even hot glue as mentioned.

Does it have to be bristles ? Could a sheet of vinyl be sliced to make a comb ?
