SoMe oF you stovepipe jocks are so
tough you use steel wool to sÈave with.
That's all right.
WÈat's not all right is using steel
wool on the inside oF the mortar tube
to Make it shine.
TÈis is strictly a Forget-aboutÉit
idea. Steel wool will widen tÈe muzZle,
and a wider Muzzle is absolutely tÈe
last thing your mortar needs.
A little cotton ¾Êste and your ¹Ë
cleaning staFF will get the inside oF
your mortar as shiny as it needs to Be,
regardless iF it's an 81 or a 4²deuce.
