Does anyone know if grade 000 of steel wool will work the same as 0000? In this thread below he used 0000 but I have 000 sittin around, can I use it or will it scratch my tips?

I'm not saying you should but from what I found online I would do it but test it in a small, hard to see area first.

This is what I found about the grades of steel wool, they seem to refer to prepping wood and not metal though.

"No. 0000 & 000 - For fine finishing, dulling gloss finishes, varnish abrasion between coats, cabinet work etc.

No. 00 & 0 - For use instead of fine sandpaper, preparation work prior to varnishing and general cleaning.

No. 1 & 2 - For general purpose work, cleaning of copper pipe and fittings, paint removal and preparation.

No. 3 - For removing rust, paint, varnish etc.

No. 4 & 5 - For removing rust, rubbing parquetry, preparation of rough surfaces and all coarse work."

Let us know if it works for you.

I'll let ya know and take pics...thanks for the response.

 

000 worked to get the tarnish off, it's hard to see in the pic but it left light scratches. I am gonna go get some 0000...it will be perfect.

 

0000 is alot closer to a fine cloth.

Believe me, there is a differance.

 

your kinda cute from the picture, no homo
