        <![CDATA[ Over on the CMP &quot;Ask Each Other&quot; forum there is a topic on stock cleaning. I have used 0000 steel wool on just about all my stocks. I haven&#39;t
heard of the below issue before. Any validity?

A gent posted this:

&quot;Steel wool leaves little bits of itself behind and will start to
rust and break down in the wood. Then chemical reactions occur, breaking the wood down faster. If that wood touches a metal portion of your gun, it can cause
rust, not to mention make the wood unstable... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Most stocks are walnut. Walnut is a very hard wood. I doubt if you could get steel wool to embed in it if you tried. Everyone is entitled to their own
opinions. I have been using steel wool, wet and dry, on furniture and guns for 50 years. Still have most of the stuff I have used it on. No problems that I can
see. I say use whatever works for you and makes you happy. There is more than one way to skin a cat. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ll preface this by saying I&#39;m a woodworking newbie,and I know more about rust than wood, but I know a little about rust AND wood together.
<br>
<br>
Speaking from experience as an archaeologist, when wood and ferrous metal decay together (an iron nail in a floorboard, for example), the oxide being formed on
the nail can leach into the wood. This is especially true in the presence of a lot of moisture. I&#39;ve excavated building remains where the wood has become
saturated with... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I&#39;m afraid I must disagree. I have in fact received rifles with steel, not brass, repairs. Not all armorers used brass. Brass was preferred because it did
not rust, which caused expansion of the steel part, which caused splitting or cracking of the wood. And, considering that steel wool has been used for many,
many years, if as believed by &quot;Angry... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Sorry, but rusty metal does not rot wood.
<br>
<br>
A combination of high moisture (20% or more in the wood), oxygen, and the presence of fungal microorganisms cause wood rot. If these conditions are present, it
doesn&#39;t matter if the wood is in contact with iron or iron-oxide or not. If these conditions are not present, the wood will not rot, regardless of whether
it is touching metal.

You may be thinking of poor condition rifles that you have disassembled that have both wood... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Think of it this way, what does rusty metal do to wood? It rots the wood around it. What does steel wool do when you use it to wipe or scrubb down some wood?
It breaks down into little peices, you can see the larger peices as you work. Now most of this wood is going to go outside and be used, not sit in your house
as a peice of furniture. What kind of finish do we generally work with? Oil based, which are not sealers, they stabilize wood, nothing more. They to a small
point help keep moisture... ]]></description>

concerned.

			<description><![CDATA[ Steelwool even wet will still leaves peices behind. And since we mostly use oil based finishes on stocks, it will rust, as oil is NOT a sealer. Same with using
purple power/water/other cleaners on wood, it says behind and will shorten the lifespan of the wood you are trying to preserve in the first place. And it can
leach and effect the metal surfaces attached to the wood, causing rust and corrosion. Remember one thing here, we are trying to preserve these old weapons not
only for our use,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Steel wool WILL leave bits of itself on wood but only if used DRY.  If, however, you wet it with any lubricant, especially oil, you&#39;ll have no problems. 
Using wool dry is a common mistake by novice finishers.  There are even specific products available called &quot;wool lube&quot; that is nothing more than an
oil, probably tung oil finish of some kind.  So, rest assured you can use steel wool but just make sure you keep it really wet.

Hope that helps!

			<description><![CDATA[ It probably COULD happen if you didn&#39;t clean after steel wool, but your finish should seal it in and if it didn&#39;t, the film of oil on your metal parts
should protect. If you&#39;re worried about it the Scotchbrite pads come in different grades to match steel wool. You&#39;re past experience should be enough
validity and some folks are a little more anal about things. Just my 2 cents. ]]></description>
