Default Baffle re-pack; what to use?

Wanna repack my baffle and I'm curious as to what you guys use? I'm sure there's a few thrifty people who've done it on the cheap, give me your ideas.

I used fiberglass cloth like for boats etc... Has worked great without blowing out.

I repacked my three year old Rush mufflers. I called Rush and they sent two sets of packing for free.

I re-packed mine a couple times in the past with the batt-style sold in a lot of dirt bike shops. It did not really have the desired effect, and burned out with in a year each time. This time I ordered the Silent Sport Premium, which is not the batt-style but is a stranded type of loose fill. I gather that this is what Fuel Moto uses; it is claimed to be the best available. The large bag was $48 including shipping but you might be able to find it in indy shops. I did not have time to look around for it this time and just ordered directly from the distributor in California. 2-3 days shipping and it arrived today. They said the large bag is more than enough to repack 2, 4" muffler baffles.

Vance & Hines has repack kits for theur slip ons. Probably work for you. Last time I bought some they were less then $10 bucks/side.

I haven't tried it, but I have read where some are using the rope type seal that goes around wood/coal burning heater doors. You should be able to get it at a fireplace/stove shop. No idea how it would work, but I bet it will last.
