Ideal Restoration Applications
Use the Steel-Wool Restoration Brush to:

For best results, use after heavier deposits have been removed with appropriate restoration tools and always work slowly with light pressure.
Every historical artifact is unique. Always begin with the least aggressive cleaning method possible and avoid excessive pressure. Preserving the original surface, patina, and historical character of an artifact is often more valuable than producing a polished appearance. Test your technique on a common item before working on rare or valuable finds.

Finishing steel-wool pencil for quality restoration, skims sharpener knife or a cutter
Designed for brushing occasionally the surface and provides a perfect finish
The brush pencil is great for finishing, monitoring your progress or cleaning a thin and/or soft layer of dirt, even on coppers. To "reactivate" the brush pencil, simply hold the steel wool, then turn the pencil. "Fresh" and ready for action steel wool will come out. DO NOT get the ends of the brush pencil wet! It would rust. The steel-wool brush is great with coppers/nickels that do have a little dirt to take off. Used gently, it can prove very efficient and effective.
