OOOO Steel Wool

[Bill McNiel]

What does 0000 Steel wool equate to on the "P" sandpaper scale? Simple question but one I don't know the answer to. Several beers riding on the answer.

400-600 equiv sandpaper grit

I love google. Search results for "OOOO steel wool sandpaper equivalent":

http://steelwooldirect.com/grades-and-applications/

http://workshoppages.com/WS/Misc/Steel_Wool_Abrasive_Pad_Sandpaper_Equivalent.pdf

So 400-600 based on those results, and I assume that is the US scale.

Then a search for "p scale sandpaper conversion":

Based on the search results I'd say 800p.
