Our British counterparts have a product called rubberized horsehair. Makes a good bush, brush, and undergrowth cover because of the branch structure. Have not been able to find it here in the states. Might somebody have stumbled over it somewhere outside of Europe? The usual search approaches have yielded nothing. I am interested in trying it.

Lots of hits but nonenis the right stuff. I noticed that most is braided and more like a net. Apparently there are many types. Not usufull. The usefull stuff is still only found in Europe. Havent been able to find a local or state side source. Shipping and exchange rates make it unrealistic in pricing.
I also found lots of "hits", along with this:

Interesting images also show up on a search for rubberized horse hair, and the many ways it can be used.

I believe some of the vintage automobile restorers are using it for upholstery on the seats. I remember finding a bunch of that stuff at my former employer. Can't recall what exactly we used it for, filtration of some kind, perhaps. It almost looks like the ScotchBrite pads they use on floor polishers.
Good Luck, Ed

I noticed that on the image search I did. Also used a lot in regular furniture.

Looks a lot like furnace filter material. That's what I use.
