Care of Your Branding Iron

Your branding iron is made of steel and should prove very durable. However, from time to time, it will rust or get dirty. To clean, just take steel wool, an SOS. pad. wire brush, or piece of sandpaper and rub lightly. Be sure to dry iron thoroughly after cleaning to prevent further rusting.
If you are going to store the iron for some time, a few drops of oil may be spread over the iron to provide a good protective cost. The oil will be completely burned off when next used.
