About this product
Smoothing under a water-based finish without rust spots
Medium bronze wool sits between stripping and polishing: you use it to sand and smooth wood and metal once the rough work is done. It comes as a pack of three pads, and this Homax grade is made with boats, docks and outdoor gear in mind.
Because bronze does not rust, it suits water-based finishes, where stray steel strands can leave rust marks under the coat. It also stands up to damp places without shedding or corroding. Pick the coarse bronze grade instead when you are taking off an old finish rather than smoothing one.
If the Rhodes American Bronze Wool, Medium does not fit your job, the steel wool shelf has 9 more products from the Homax catalog.
