This guide is for DIY enthusiasts, woodworkers, metalworkers, and hobbyists seeking a high-quality abrasive for detailed finishing work. The Liberon Steel Wool, Grade 00 Super Fine, offers a dust and crumble-resistant, virtually oil-free experience for preparing surfaces on wood, metal, porcelain, and glass. A key benefit is its versatility across different materials, though users must select the correct grade for their specific application to avoid damage.

Grade 00 Super Fine steel wool is ideal for the finest finishing, polishing of metal, glass, and porcelain, and for achieving a smooth surface between coats of paint or varnish on wood.
No, Grade 00 Super Fine steel wool is too fine for removing paint. Coarser grades like 0, 1, 2, or 3 are more appropriate for paint stripping, though power tools or chemical strippers are often more effective.
Yes, Grade 00 Super Fine steel wool can be used very gently on lacquered surfaces to de-gloss or smooth between coats, but always test in an inconspicuous area first and use minimal pressure.
Store Liberon Steel Wool in a dry place, away from moisture, to prevent it from rusting. Keep it in its original packaging or a sealed container.
It means the steel wool has been manufactured with minimal or no residual oil, which is beneficial for finishing applications where oil could interfere with adhesion or the final appearance of sealants, paints, or polishes.
It is generally recommended to use steel wool for a single project or task, especially when fine finishing is critical. Used pads can pick up debris and lose their effectiveness. Dispose of used pads responsibly.
The steel wool itself can rust if exposed to moisture. After use, ensure it is completely dry before storing, or dispose of it properly. It is not inherently rust-proof.
Ensure the steel wool is clean and virtually oil-free as advertised. If using with a liquid (like polish or solvent), ensure the surface is not oversaturated. For metal, consider using a light lubricant.
This grade (00 Super Fine) is intended for delicate tasks. For more demanding jobs, a coarser grade may be necessary. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure.
Grade 00 is super fine, but if applied with excessive force or on an extremely delicate surface, scratching can occur. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the surface is clean of grit before you start.
Store the steel wool in a dry environment. If minor rust is present, it might still be usable for some tasks, but it could transfer rust particles. For critical finishing, use a fresh, rust-free pad.
Setup: No specific setup is required. Simply unwrap the steel wool for immediate use.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of materials including unfinished wood, finished wood, bare metal, painted metal, porcelain, and glass. It is crucial to select the correct grade of steel wool for the material and task; Grade 00 is for fine finishing and polishing, not for heavy material removal.
Care: Store in a dry place to prevent rust. After use, dispose of the used steel wool properly, as fragments can be sharp. If it becomes heavily soiled or rusted, it should be discarded.
