Art:
I agree with others who have advised against using steel wool. For yet
another alternative, you can use a Scotchbrite (plastic) scouring pad to clean
your aluminum, then use another clean piece to apply the NoAlOx or similar
anti-ox compound. Don't use the same piece to clean the material and to apply
the anti-ox - kind of defeats the purpose of cleaning.
When you apply the anti-ox compound, rub it into the aluminum with the pad
so there is a thin layer remaining. Do not leave gobs of paste at the end of
the assembly process.

Hello...I use 320 grit Silicone sandpaper(That's the whits stuff), use
anti-ox on the joints for all elements after sanding. Then seal after
assembly with Krylon clear, use anti-ox on the joints for all elements and
all aluminum connections.
Cheers....Lonnie (NT6B)

I use "bronze wool" with WD-40.
