HOMAX PRODUCTS 123100 Bronze Fine Wool Pad, 3-Pack

This bronze wool worked like a champ along with some Cleaner-Lubricant-Protectant at getting surface rust off an old rifle. My previous review got rejected for mentioning the hit your wallet will take for getting the product to your door. Yes, I am avoiding buzz words that will cause another rejection. :>)

Bronze wool is what you want to use instead of steel wool, especially when working with firearms because the bronze is softer than the steel the firearm is made from, so no scratches or rust from pieces of steel wool that break off and are left behind. I used the bronze wool to remove rust and corrosion from the guns and then applied oil to prevent further damage. A single pad lasts quite awhile and this produces really amazing results!

Works very well for polishing metal, but I would suggest using a dust mask when using it. I found that it actually did shed, leaving behind tons of tiny fibers, and you really dont want to breathe them. They caused my asthma to flair up, and an overall inflammatory reaction. Be careful when using.

Shed fibers like crazy. Whatever youre doing with it, youll spend as much time cleaning up all the shrapnel as whatever youre working on.

Works great on fine finishes. Polish a gun without hurting the bluing.

Used to remove rust from a blued gun barrel. Worked great.

I used this product for polishing

Good product

Very nice product. Used these for guitar building, my Tele is happier for the non rusting and very smooth feel of these. In fact steel wool caused a blue stain during my finishing and this Bronze Wool did a great job to buff it out, easily.

Great for scouring, rust removal, and polishing wood. Less aggressive than steel wool, wont scratch blued guns (if oil is used), and doesnt leave behind little rusting fibers of steel in your fine woodworking!
