FAQs

What is the difference between different grades of steel wool?

The grade of steel wool refers to the coarseness of the fibers. Ultra Fine 0000 is the finest grade, suitable for polishing and cleaning delicate surfaces. Coarser grades are used for more aggressive abrasion.

Can I use steel wool on painted surfaces?

Yes, but use caution. Liberon Steel Wool Ultra Fine 0000 is best for very light work, like removing dust nibs or smoothing between coats of paint or varnish.

How do I prevent rust?

Store the steel wool in a dry environment. Ensure that surfaces are dry before applying the steel wool. If rust appears, clean the surface, remove the rust particles and apply a protective finish.

Is Liberon Steel Wool Ultra Fine 0000 oil-free?

It is virtually oil-free, which reduces mess and makes it easier to use with various finishes.

What safety precautions should I take when using steel wool?

Always wear gloves to protect your hands. Consider eye protection to prevent steel particles from entering your eyes. Work in a well-ventilated area.

Can I reuse the steel wool?

You can reuse the steel wool if it's in good condition, but inspect it frequently for debris or damage. Discard when it becomes dirty or ineffective.

Where can I use Liberon Steel Wool Ultra Fine 0000?

It's perfect for polishing and cleaning delicate surfaces, cutting back between coats of French Polishes, varnishes, and oil finishes. It is approved by the Guild of Master Craftsmen.

Troubleshooting

Check for debris in the steel wool. Replace the pad if necessary. Ensure you're using light pressure.

Ensure you are using the correct grade of steel wool for the task. Ultra Fine 0000 is for polishing and cleaning, not for heavy abrasion.
