Steel Wool
Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
For abrasive jobs like removing rust, or for smoothing down a surface before you paint or varnish it, there is nothing like steel wool. It is made of steel thread, loosely woven into small pads, and comes in various grades, from very coarse number three down through superfine four-aught. Fourth aught is probably the best abrasive you can use when you are stripping paint.
