..there are as many as 20 brilliant applications of steel wool.
Steel wool is a material made of thin steel filaments that are woven together into a mat or cushion. Most people know steel wool in the form of a scouring sponge. It is also used by woodworkers as a replacement for sandpaper. Steel wool has a number of other uses. Many hardware stores sell steel wool. There are several qualities available for different tasks, ranging from grade fine to coarse.
Steel wool was developed in the 19th century and was originally produced from a waste product known as chips. These chips occur when metal is put on a turning lathe. The metalworkers discovered that the fine fibers of the chips seemed to have interesting properties. They could almost behave like a textile. Presumably they started using steel wool at home, after which other people started using it, creating a demand for commercially produced steel wool.
Steel wool is used for cleaning, levelling and polishing various wood, metal, stone and glass surfaces. The best quality of steel wool to use depends on your intended job.
Steel wool is manufactured from special high-quality steel wire. This steel wool consists of pure material, is extremely tear-resistant and extremely elastic. 9 finely graded varieties guarantee perfect results on the most varied surfaces of wood, metal, plastic, stone and glass.
Steel wool is made by scraping off soft steel wire to get wafer-thin strands. Several strands containing the thin threads are then joined together and rolled into a large roll. Different weights and packages of steel wool can then be made from this large roll.
If kept dry, steel wool can be kept practically unlimited. Only in contact with water or chemicals can steel wool rust. The STAINLESS STEEL WOOL is completely stainless and is used mainly on wet spots, in connection with solvents, on tannic acid wood types and for marble crystallisation.
