Freehand pin striping is the most difficult method of pin striping[citation needed] and the brush is an important tool for design.
[1] The brush consists of a small wood dowel handle, string or brass fixture with adhesive and brush hairs traditionally made from squirrel hair (confusingly called camel hair).
The small wood dowel is balanced so pin stripers can freely spin the brush between their fingers.
[citation needed] The brush hair is delicate and must be stored properly between usage.
