Is this safe to use on metal for a PC case? Sanding is a pain! Don't have a brush but is a sanding sponge with gloves ok?

I don't know I tried to use it on a desk but the material was a composite so it didn't work on the top portion.

If by trim you mean molding, it will require a very steady hand to not gouge it. I used it on judge's paneling to remove varnish and also paint samples where I tested colors to decide what I wanted the final result to be. It will remove paint drips and clumps handily - be sure to order extra pads if you have a big area as I went through them fairly quickly, especially the edges when I was doing tight trim since the edges are what fit along tight trim. I also used it to smooth out parts of the molding that had been gouged through the years in a house I redid. I found in the very tiny parts or tight corners that it requires some manuevering, but it is the best thing available that I could find. If you are doing a lot of tight trim, it probably would be a good idea to get an old picture frame molding and practice with that before you start on the main project. Hope this helps. Without knowing precisely what your project is it is hard to say, but we turned a room that made me cringe into a masterpiece with this sander. And, as I said in my review, I ran it for hours at a time. It does get hot when run for that long, so gloves are a good idea.

Sorry, I have only ued it on wood and look great on well sanded wood. I'm sure it would look good on metal as wel. Have used other colors of this product on metal and it is the only brand I Use in my shop.

Any brush will do. But not the sponge ones. It will adhere to metal. First, give it a good clean. Of course. Good luck

Cindy I use mine to clean my computer keyboard and a small area on a table next to me. Both small areas and it removed small particles well. I do not think it will do well with large particles or with lots of grit.

Its coarse but not damaging in my experience. My brother uses it on the edges of his cell phone case and has no issues as far as I know. The tape sticks very well to most surfaces except metals

I used it to restore pinball machine metal,this machine did not last long and burned out .I bought another brand with a plastic case and a piece of metal cut through the side. I'm sure it will polish rocks but sharp edges will damage the plastic case .I would stick to one with a metal case.

yes it adheres well to clean metal I would wipe down with solvent after cleaning with triple phosphate or similar product and I used MEK methyl ethyl ketone to wipe down few minutes before application that actually etches the metal a little this is some bad stuff follow ventilation and other instructions if you use it (availiable at lowe's and others. As for the brush, I didn't use one I used a roller with 3/4 inch knap so cant help you there

Yes it can. I use my sander for both metal and wood as my shop is both. One hit with metal on a belt renders it useless for wood, so remember to swap it out when and if you go back to sanding wood. The belt lasts a long time with metal.

It's a great sander. I've used it to put polish on my truck. Instructions doesn't recommend polishing with it but it does ok as long as you control it. I only used mine on wood finishing. I own 8 of them.

In my opinion, yes. Glisten PC is perfect for protecting all bare metal surfaces. Although, you stated they are stainless so it should not be an issue if you do not coat them. However, there are many grades of stainless steel and some are known to have metals in them that are ferrous. Place a magnet to the railing. If it is slightly magnetized there is iron mixed with the stainless and it will eventually have rust form. Minute, but still. Be sure to read and follow the directions to ensure proper adhesion. There is also a pre-paint etch to use for this which they also recommend. Good luck!

It will get it off but you will then have to wire brush and still sand a bit. Sandblasting or using a DA is better IMO, this stuff is good for smaller stuff.

better off using brass bristles to be safe.. over time the full on stainless steel bristles could scratch it, leading to rusting.. they make one just like this with brash bristles..

I too use the sander indoors and have found it to be very effective at dust collection. Most of my sanding is done with a fine grit paper for prepping wood for wood carving. Although the sander can be used with a small shop vacuum, I have not found that necessary for my use.

As long as you're using it on car carpets and upholstery I'd say you're fine. Granted, use your best judgement if you've got a full leather interior, but I used mine on my bathroom tiles, carpet in my truck as well as the seats. Just use a low setting on your drill at first if you're nervous. It's just nylon strings, not steel wool. Think of it as an industrial toothbrush. You're probably better off using the yellow one though, since it's not quite as stiff but is still enough to get the job done and not damage your stuff.

Interesting question. I used it to stop rust only on some parts I intended to paint. Since it chemically bonds to the metal if your intent is to eventually rechrome or repaint the part it may interfere with the process and require completely sanding it off. If parts are pitted this could be a real problem. Also when it dries it turns black which cosmetically would not be very attractive

Hi used it to clean an old stanley thermos inside.the inside is chromed.i didnt see any scrathes in the chrome.the end of the brush is stiff.and the metal tip is cruved and has a coating of paint.there is some brissles or that part. I think it would be ok to use for you.i hope this helps.
