Product Information
Full details
Liberon Steel Wool Grade 0000 Ultra Fine is designed for woodworkers, restorers, and DIY enthusiasts who require a professional-grade abrasive for final surface finishing and light cleaning. Its primary benefit is providing a smooth, scratch-free surface on delicate materials like wood, glass, and metal without leaving behind heavy residue or oil, though users must be careful to select the correct grade, as this ultra-fine version is not intended for heavy material removal or stripping.

FAQs
Can I use Grade 0000 on painted surfaces?
Yes, it is excellent for lightly dulling paint between coats to improve adhesion, provided you use a very light touch.
Is this steel wool safe for use on food-contact surfaces?
It is not recommended for direct contact with food or kitchen utensils due to the potential for tiny metal fragments to remain.
How do I know if this is the right grade for my project?
Grade 0000 is for ultra-fine finishing. If you need to remove old finish or sand wood, a coarser grade like 0 or 00 would be more appropriate.
Does this product contain any added oils?
No, this product is manufactured to be virtually oil-free.
Can I wash the steel wool to reuse it?
It is generally not recommended to wash steel wool as it will likely lead to rapid rusting. It is intended to be used until it loses its effectiveness and then replaced.
Is it flammable?
Like all fine steel wool, it can be ignited by an electrical short or an open flame. Keep it away from electrical outlets and heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Steel wool fibers breaking off onto the workpiece
Ensure you are using light, even pressure. If the material begins to crumble, switch to a fresh piece of steel wool.
Surface rust appearing on the product
Store the steel wool in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container to prevent oxidation from humidity.
Fine scratches appearing on the surface
Check that the surface is clean of all debris before buffing; trapped dust particles can act as an abrasive. Ensure you are using the correct Grade 0000 for the task.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resistant to crumbling and dust production
- Leaves minimal to no oily residue on workpieces
- Excellent for final polishing on wood and metal

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; simply pull off a small piece of the wool from the bundle and use it directly on your workpiece. It is compatible with most wood finishes, metal polishes, and glass cleaners. To maintain the quality of the product, keep it in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Steel wool will rust if left in damp conditions or exposed to water, which can damage your project. After use, inspect the area to ensure no metal fibers remain, especially before applying further layers of finish.
