I was wondering the same thing.......

 

Seems to just crumble off on my finger tips if I rub it a little. Never had a problem.

 

Using a regular steel wire wheel on stainless will leave deposits of the steel in the wheel and will rust. you can buy a SSwire wheel at any welding shop. More critical if you do any TIG welding but just the same.....

 

I use a dremel tool with the wire wheel on it. Works great!

 

Brake cleaner and a rag works for me.

 

Cool, thanks for the response. See goes to show a person never is too old to learn something new!
