I returned it. I did find some nice 0000 steel wool on line from Liberon. It is much finer and a much better product than the 3M. I would highly recommend that instead. It should work fine for your ukulele fretboard if you go lightly with it. You might also want to use a light mineral oil that will hard and then when you're done **Q: js this the stuff you use to block off rats?** A: Rats can chew through this stuff, STEEL wool works better! **Q: will this deter chipmunks as well as regular steel wool?** A: Fiberglass would more likely be similar to steel wool . . . synthetic materials can be chewed and shredded more easily ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for cleaning *by M***L on July 21, 2025* Received quickly and as expected.
