I am looking for some stainless steel wool. I need enough to plug the ends of two 4-inch PVC pipes. I have tried some hardware stores and restaurant supply places locally but haven't found any. I sea

Why steel wool of any kind? Use some pieces of fiberglass insulation material. Works fine and is CHEAP. Don N8DE _______________________________________________ ______________________________________

Paul, Perhaps a ball of regular steel wool in doubled zip-loc bags might do the trick at much less cost? Also, the critters won't tear at the steel wool since it is in bags. Vy 73, Gordon Beattie, W2

Paul: Must the material be metallic? If not, you might want to consider simple fiberglass insulation batting. (I'm assuming you want the material to plug the PVC where coax cables emerge.) I used ins

Paul, You can go to your local machine shop and find the equivalent in the aluminum shavings bin. The shop mgr. will prolly give you what you require for free or at a very reasonable price. 73, dave

Gene, That should work, but metallic or plastic material still is subject to pilfering by critters making their nests, so I would make a "pillow" of the material with a doubled set of zip-locs. Vy 73

Paul, are you using it to keep critters out? You can get bronze wool, it is used in marine environments instead of steel wool. The steel leaves little hairs that bleed (rust) and stains the boat. Rod

You might try bronze/copper or SS "scrubby sponges" at the supermarket. We used to use them in foam nozzles. McMaster Carr is another possible source. Jim, W6RMK _____________________________________

Thanks for all the nice responses. I think I will use fiberglass for now and keep my eyes open for some bronze or stainless steel wool. 73, Paul K5ESW Raleigh, NC ____________________________________

This is purely "anecdotal evidence" of why you may want to consider using steel wool vs plastic scrubbers of fiberglass in pvc entry pipes. Decades ago, my Elmer told me to use steel wool since it co

Paul, I don't know why you're looking for "stainless steel wool" unless it's because it won't rust away (and mice seem to dislike it). How about those brass scrubbers that are used in the kitchen? Wo
