Briwax Oil-Free Steel Wool 0000

Absolutely fabulous steel wool. I have not tried other 0000 steel wool but this Briwax 0000 steel wool made my sanded boards glass-like to the touch. Also this wool seems to be very durable.

I use 4-0000 steel wool for rubbing milk paint finishes to get a worn look this is the best 100 percent oil free I wouldn’t use anything else for the look that I want!

No film and very smooth finish for rub oil finishes. So smooth final coats required no polish or buffing. If you re careful with final application.

Works good with the wax

I learned, some time ago, that all Steel Wool is not created equal. Of course, if you shop in big box stores, all youll find is the lower grade bag of briquet-like steel wool which breaks down quickly, leaves splinters in your hands and sometimes scratches the wood, even at 4x0. I discovered Briwax rolls of Steel Wool and Ill never go back to the cheap-o kind again. You cut off sections from a roll (tearing also tears fibers, so a scissors is a necessity). It doesnt leave splinters and does a really great job of bringing down finishes for a second application. I also use it to soften the look of a finish that is a little too shiny. This is the only way to go if youre doing serious woodworking.

This steel wool infused with Briwax is amazing to use on some of my older wood furniture. I dont really like the look of poly. This product give a rich shine and just seems to be good for the wood.

I have been using the bagged 4/0 steel from the hardware store to clean and polish the brass on my steam boat the PHOENIX see profile picture. I have always been happy with Briwax products so I gave this stuff a try. It is far better than the hardware store bagged stuff. I like it on a roll. I can cut small chunks so I dont use a whole pad when a small chunk will do. So in a long run it is cheaper. Polishing brass is not the fun part of having a steam launch so this was a great find for me. Buy some and try it out. If you dont like it DONATE it to my steam boat PHOENIX and I will make good use of it.

I added to vinegar in a Mason jar to create a natural stain. It was obvious this steel wool strand size is very fine. I have plenty left to try on some delicate polishing. Wish I could recommend one way or another but I dont feel qualified to do so with how I used it.

I purchased this to smooth polyurethane between coats. It works great, even thickness of roll that has nice texture. Would recommend, good value for a great product.

Steel wool of this type has so many uses. Love to use it on my wood to remove finger prints and keep the shine of the original wood. Also love to use it on my stainless steel sink for keeping it shiny.
