I see that James referred to the RED Scotchbrite. I went to the 3M site and the closest I could find were the thin green pads. Also, there is a liquid. What, exactly, are you using? Do you have a product number that I could refer to? Steel wool can be really nasty and messy and if there is a product out there that I can use to avoid using it most of the time I want to find it. -- Geoff Sykes -- Assoc.
