Ampersand oil-free steel wool is great for gently removing paint, ink, or pencil from Claybord and Scratchboard. Use it to create soft tonal values on these surfaces or erase without leaving an oily residue.

Each package contains one pad of each grade: 0000 (fine), 000 (medium), and 00 (coarse).

Most steel wool in the US is manufactured with oil that can stain or damage delicate surfaces. Oily residue from regular steel wool keeps water-based paints such as acrylics and watercolours from adhering to painting surfaces. Ampersand’s oil-free steel woo will not leave behind an oily film, ensuring proper adhesion.
