| We're planning to re-paint kitchen cabinets (going fro black to yellow) and have read lots of good advice. I'm wondering if we can use steel wool (not sure how fine a grade) to apply the TSP solution. We could clean and cut some of the gloss at the same time. We're planning to use a primer but not sand; then 2 coats of paint. |

| Use a 3M scrubbie pad, not steel wool. The scrubbies last longer, steel wool disintegrates and leaves steel shards everywhere, which then rust. Casey |

| 2x on rust, if you still want metal pad look at bronze wool pads. |

| Why? It seems like a real pain. Just steel wool them off and then clean them with TSP using a sponge. |
