These _FREE_ stainless steel strips easy to bend into place for use with LST or just anchoring the plant or infrastructure . Bacteria resistant and free from your local auto shops, just extract the metal strip out of the rubber wiper with a pair of pliers…most satisfying indeed.

Polite to ask before dumpster diving for used wipers…in my humble experience.
