The stuff I have is fibreglass cotton sheet, ~5mm thick. The fibres are extremely fine and not particularly long as they are so fine they break. Its really nice to cut with a blade, feels sexy.
Anything crystalline and as fine as that would be evil inside a nozzle; like most blockages it'd probably be a progressive loss of output till it choked. And it couldn't be melted out.
I have doubts that any form of fiberglass would be a good idea. Kinda like sand.

That said, I'm tempted to try the stuff i have in a clip-on ferroid case anyway. But I'm also not really concerned with blockages, especially not with the new petg I have now - the 2018 pla that blocked most of the nozzles in the image most likely had sand, carbon soot, metallic fragments or similar industrial area debris in it. Or maybe just a few pellets per thousand of a type of filament i wasnt equipped to melt, but the manufacturer also produced.
The supplier was obviously new at the filament spooling game, so that is likely what made me kill nozzles a lot. Also the lack of double z-axis leveling, which i have now added.
Now I think I'll just go with keeping my filament clean. I have no brass deficiency any more either.
