Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for these pads; simply select the color-coded pad suited for your project. To maintain the life of your pads, keep them stored in a dry, cool environment to prevent rusting of the steel fibers. When working on wood, ensure you remove all loose dust before applying paint or varnish. After using the pads on metal or dirty surfaces, shake them out thoroughly or use a brush to remove trapped particles. Avoid using steel wool pads on surfaces that are susceptible to rust if microscopic metal fibers are left behind, such as some types of unfinished light-colored stone or certain specialized plastics.
