Back of the neck of my Orion 6

[NachoGomez]

Hey Keith, thanks for posting
 
Since the picture states it is synthetic steel wool I think it is the same as the 7445 or maybe the 7448 but in different package, maybe the 7445 is a little bit lighter than the one I posted according to this. Also, I've read the customer ratings and they say it doesn't leave particles and shards after use
 
I was looking to buy a smaller package than the box of 20 pads because I think after giving the finish I want to the neck of my Orion the rest of them will be be laying around without much use
 
On another related topic, what is the function of the polyurethane finish on the back of the neck? It is just for aesthetics? or, is it really necessary in order to protect the wood?
 
Again, thanks Keith and all for posting

Nacho,
I saw the same thing on the packaging where it stated Synthetic Steel Wool and waiting for verification.
 
Good find you guys!

Oops. Missed the synthetic and only saw the steel wool. Oh well if I could see I wouldn't wear glasses.

Just a heads up if people have not used the 3M Scotchbrite pads before. I've used the stuff for a long time for a wide variety of purposes. Although the shards left are not metal and thus less likely to end up in the electronics cavity, as with any abrasive product they do in fact leave residue (although not of the metal variety) which can end up in places in which one does not want it.

Like I said, masking is your friend.
