Curious Material as Sandpaper Substitute Revealed
From the New York Sun, steel wool introduced five or six years ago is described as a machine made material used as a substitute for sandpaper. It consists of sharp edged steel threads curling into wool like fibers, finer than natural wool, sold in one pound packages rolled in paper.
Uses of Steel Wool and Steel Shavings in Woodwork
The passage explains how steel wool and steel shavings are used for polishing wood and metal, smoothing surfaces, and removing old paint or varnish. It notes finer wool for crevices and irregular shapes, coarser wool for flat areas, and that steel wool works faster than sandpaper though it breaks down and requires gloves to avoid finger injury.
