Compenstine Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 You would have an issue with shorts. I know people use SS mesh for wicking, but the when you role them, you need to make sure there are no loose fray (strands) that can cause a short. The only reason the mesh works is it does have some wicking ability because of weave. I would not risk my equipment on a ss wool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebop Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 SS mesh should not be confused with common steel wool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
