3M™ Paint and Rust Stripper works quicker, lasts longer and cuts faster than conventional sandpaper to strip away corrosion, scale and old finishes. Made from durable, non-woven synthetic material, our rust and paint remover makes a tough job faster and easier — it cleans away surface corrosion to reveal the surface below. Silicon carbide abrasives fracture easily to expose sharp edges for aggressive grinding that speeds removal of rust and scale. The paint and rust stripper may be used on fiberboard, plastics, wood, clear coat, fiberglass, filler, metal, paint, and putty.
