The Brownells 6" Loose Muslin Wheel is primarily used for initial cleaning of guns to remove old blue, dirt, and rust, and to prepare the metal for polishing.
It is also used after each change of grit to smooth out marks and is a flexible alternative to Soft Felt wheels, requiring careful handling to avoid altering edges or holes.
It is important to use multiple sections for width, to use separate wheels for different grit numbers, and to clearly mark the used wheel with the grit number and rotation direction to enhance wheel life and finish quality.
