HOMAX PRODUCTS 123100 Bronze Fine Wool Pad, 3-Pack

Pleased with the results, although you need to use only a small amount at a time because is breaks down and crumbles as its used. I used it in place of steel wool after waxing painted furniture with Annie Sloan products with quick, excellent results.

This is great stuff for cleaning old rubber parts when restoring old cars. Regular steel wool rusts, so any residual wool embedded in the rubber would rust and stain the rubber after cleaning. Bronze wool works great (as does stainless steel wool), but you cant buy it locally anymore because most retailers wont stock it because the crack heads use it to stuff their pipes...

This wool is more the equivalent of medium grade steel wool, not what I consider as fine. I use it to clean small brass parts after soldering. Seems to flake a lot more than I thought it should. My first time using brass wool.

Ive used bronze wool in the past for restoring teak decks on boats. This recent order was terrible. I used it for rubbing out bluing on a gun barrel. It disintegrated many times worse than steel wool does. It turned to bronze dust almost immediately. Wouldnt purchase again, very poor quality.

The whole point is that it was supposed to remove the rust without damaging the bluing.

Bronze wool seems to be better than steel wool in several ways. Highest on my list is good qualities is the fact that bronz wool will not rust. If I decide to leave a ball of this stuff on my bathroom tile I will not come back to a nasty, brown, rust stain. Steel wool will catch fire if it is hit by a flame or spark.

I had heard about using steel wool for cleaning water spots and hard debris on your windshield. At the same time I have heard of micro scratches and tiny bits left over that can rust and smear on your windshield. My solution was bronze wool, softer than steel and doesnt rust, and I am happy to say it worked perfectly! Water spots and wiper marks that are around 10years old are no longer visible. Other than a tiny crack (from a rock) my windshield looks brand new. I would recommend!

Not quite what it appeared to be

Use this on some of the metal jewelry that I make. Its very fine and works well, but makes quite a mess so use it outside or over something to collect the fine particles that result. A respirator or dust collector will protect your lungs.

Seems small for the price.
