FAQs
Is Grade 0000 the finest grade available?
Yes, Grade 0000 is the industry standard for the finest grade of steel wool, designed specifically for final polishing and fine finishing.
Can I use this on wet surfaces?
It is generally recommended to use steel wool dry. Using it with water can lead to rapid rusting of the wool and potential staining of your project material.
Do I need special tools to cut the roll?
No, you can simply tear off the required amount by hand. Using heavy-duty shears is possible, but they will quickly lose their edge.
Is this product flammable?
Yes, fine steel wool is highly flammable and can be ignited by sparks or even electrical shorts. Keep away from heat sources and electrical outlets.
Can this be used on stainless steel?
It can be used to polish stainless steel, but ensure you clean the surface thoroughly afterward to prevent any tiny steel particles from causing rust streaks.
Troubleshooting
Surface shows fine scratch marks
Reduce pressure and ensure the surface is completely free of dust or debris before starting.
Rust spots appearing on the steel wool
Discard rusted portions and store remaining wool in a dry, airtight container.
Difficulty removing fine metal fibers from wood pores
Use a high-quality vacuum with a brush attachment or a tack cloth to lift fibers before applying top coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the steel wool, simply tear off the desired amount from the 200g roll, wearing gloves to protect your hands from potential wire splinters.
Compatibility Notes:
- Always test on a small, inconspicuous area when working with new stains or delicate plastics.
- Avoid using on oak or other woods with high tannin content if there is any moisture present, as the steel can react to cause dark stains.
Care Instructions:

- After use, store in a sealed plastic bag or container to keep out moisture and dust.
- Clean your workpiece thoroughly with a tack cloth or vacuum after sanding to ensure no loose metal fibers remain under your final finish.
