	All I can do is echo the cautions to safety.  Brushes are not only good 
for removing crud, but they can be prepared as a burnishing tool, which 
produces a good finish.  If the material is hard, the wheel need not be 
prepared, which consists of nothing more than dulling th eends of the 
wires so they will burnish rather than cut into the surface.
