HOMAX PRODUCTS 123100 Bronze Fine Wool Pad, 3-Pack

This wool works well on rusted chrome, especially with some 3m chrome paste. It doesnt scratch like some steel wool can. Only negative is that it it gets used up pretty fast and isnt cheap.

Works great for polishing aluminum surfaces to a nice and smooth bright surface. Much better than steel wool. Cleans without scratching. The fine grade does a better job than the medium grade which is considerably coarser.

Refinish furniture

Exactly what you need for wood finishes without the worry of rusted steel fibers in your finish.

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.

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

Takes the rust right off without hurting the finish. A friend let me know about this stuff and boy am I thankful. I had a small bit of surface rust on a revolver from 1918. As you might imagine, I was very concerned about not harming the intact finish on the gun. Well this stuff did the trick! Using some Kroil and this bronze wool I was able to gently rub off the rust over an hour and a half and the gun looks great now (as great as it can with a little bit of finish missing). The rust is completely gone and the rest of the finish is no worse for the wear. If I had used even 0000 steel wool, I could not say the same. This is a must have tool!

Ease of use. Durability. Bronze does not rust. Does an awesome job of removing oxidation and rust from all chrome.

I have been using this wool on my chrome for years and it doesn’t scratch it at all.

I hate working with steel wool because it rusts so quickly. If youre using steel wool to remove the finish on wood, little bits of rusty steel can get into the wood and ruin the surface. I was very excited to find out that there was such as thing as bronze wool and immediately bought some to try. Ive used it in my furniture refinishing projects for several months now and also to remove rust on metal. Ive also started using it in place of kitchen steel wool pads, which become quickly become too rusty to use. Bronze is softer than steel, so bronze wool scratches less than steel wool of a comparable grade. Overall, bronze wool is a big improvement over steel wool for many applications, and Ive already ordered more of the fine as well as some of the coarse grade. The only reasons for giving docking it a star are: 1) its much more expensive than steel wool (yes, I would expect it to be more expensive, but IMO its disproportionately so, although the price has come down since my original order) 2) because its a soft metal, tiny fragments break off and can make a mess. Note: Bronze wool comes in fine (this one), medium, and coarse grades. I havent seen the medium grade anywhere, but Ive ordered the coarse grade and will post a review after Ive had a chance to work with it. Heres a link the coarse grade in case anyone wants to compare:
