does that regular steel wool you buy got oil in it ?
uno the stuff you buy from bunnings in a roll. seems to be supplied everywhere. blue in the label. forgotton the name.
read somewhere that some steel wools got oil in it, which wouldn't be good for water based coats.
bit worried that I'm using the wrong steel wool.
thanks

g'day Jake, The stuff with the Blue Label is fine. No Oil. I use it. And if you use it for French Polishing be aware that if you use bog standard metho to make your polish (in other words contains 5% H2O) then any fines that come loose from the steel wool will go rusty under your finish. Size 0000 is the one to use.

What I can't get over is that you pay more than twice as much for steel wool without soap in it.
It's a bit like the scam they run with these 'light' milk types. I reckon that they just mix it with water, and double the price.

Could not agree more. Its the full cream stuff or nothing for me.It's a bit like the scam they run with these 'light' milk types. I reckon that they just mix it with water, and double the price.

I will never be the person who has everything, not when someone keeps inventing so much cool new stuff to buy.
From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".
