Scotch-Brite™ Ultra Fine Hand Pad 7448 combines durability for long life, flexibility for reaching tight areas, and can be used in place of steel wool for conditioning metal surfaces and paint prep. Unlike fine steel wool, Scotch-Brite pads will not shred during use, rust after use, or leave fine metal splinters. Scotch-Brite™ Ultra Fine Hand Pads combine durability for long life and flexibility for reaching tight areas. This product is versatile in application; it can be used for rubbing between coats of painted and varnished surfaces to produce a satin finish or in place of steel wool for conditioning metal surfaces and paint prep; however, unlike fine steel wool, Scotch-Brite™ Pads will not shred during use, rust after use, or leave fine metal splinters. They are ideal for light cleaning and finishing on all metal surfaces and cleaning on plastics, fibreglass and aluminum. The durable open-web construction is load resistant, offers long life and consistent abrasive action for cleaning, finishing, and buffing with no need to adjust, turnover, or continue the same project with a new pad. The pad gets into corners and works detailed surfaces without altering the dimensions of the base material. Designed to run cleaner and longer than steel wool, this versatile pad is a useful item for any workshop. The Scotch-Brite™ ultra fine hand pad can be used right out of the box by hand, paired with a hand pad block, or run on an in-line sander for faster completion on larger areas.
