    So, Cheech, is there a solution for longer fibers?

    Yep Hareline just addressed it so the common guy can get a quality system to blend dubbings. http://store.flyfishfood.com/Blend-y...-kit-p/byo.htm

    We use something similar with some added steps to ensure consistency when we blend our bruiser blend.

    I use a blender for mixing most of my dubbing. This method, scroll down, is used for longer fibers:

    I can't see your method for mixing longer fibers, but why don't you just cut them? I guess you want them on the long side?

    I had about every comb in the book until I got a carding block. You can do that much dub really quickly.

    A carding block does't fit into my travel kit...the combs do...

    I see... In that case, dog slicker brushes are your friend
