Synthetic Steel Wool Pad

3M 10120 Synthetic Steel Wool is a finishing accessory designed for woodworkers and refinishers who need a steel-wool alternative. The pad uses synthetic fibers blended with abrasive particles to mimic the cutting action of traditional steel wool without the drawbacks.

Compatible With Water-Based And Solvent Strippers

The abrasive pad works with both traditional solvent-based and newer water-based strippers, finishes, waxes and oils. It is not recommended for use on glass surfaces where the abrasive particles could cause scratching.

Durable Pads Resist Clogging And Rust

The synthetic construction will not shred, splinter or rust like conventional steel wool, and the pads resist clogging and crumbling during use. They can be rinsed and reused, making them practical for sanding tight corners or cleaning residue near textured ceilings.
