not to be contrary but, would someone please explain to me how steel wool, especially 0000, which is very soft, would embed itself in SS which is actually harder. I mean, you guys do clean off a gun after you do something like this, don't you?

I heard the same thing.

Microscopic voids in the metal will collect the iron molecules from the steel wool???

Sounds good.
