- 1). Scrub the tools with the 0000 steel wool to remove any large pieces of dirt or other contaminants from the surface of the wood tools.
- 2). Rub the surface of the wood tools with a non-woven scrubbing pad to remove any roughness left by the steel wool.
- 3). Mix two parts boiled linseed oil and one part paint stripper in a large container. Soak the wood tools in this mixture for 48 hours.
