Abrasive Cleaning Blocks

If you regularly work with metals, you need an abrasive cleaning block in your toolkit. In our extensive range, we have a variety of quality cleaning blocks that are suitable for all the tasks you would need them for. Typically, they are used to remove tarnishing or light rust from metals. You can also use them in restorative work too, creating a bright, metal finish, especially when working with metals such as steel and cast iron. The abrasive cleaning blocks are made from a compound which is similar to rubber with silicon carbide abrasive particles. These particles will work on the rust or tarnishing to gently remove and restore the metal to its original state. You can use the blocks dry but for best results, it’s recommended that you use a lubricant such as paraffin, oil, camellia oil or water. Avoid using WD40 or a similar product for this task because it can react with the compound in the abrasive cleaning block. Sealants and Tools Direct carefully source all of our products to make sure that we can continue to provide the very best to our clients, so they not only buy from us once but return to us as a trusted supplier for many years to come.
