Am I just not patient enough with 0000 (or 000) wool? I find it almost never removes anything but the most superficial rust, but I'm not sure if I give it enough time. Am I supposed to keep going even if I feel like I have not made noticeable progress after a few minutes? Also, I'm curious on the type of stone and method you (Detlef) use for deep rust pockets. If soft enough I will use a metal pick but often find rust crusts to be extremely hard and need abrasive anf/or repeated acid washes (vinegar) to remove.
