I don't think I would wire brush my molds either.

OK, Maybe I didn't think the brass wire brush out very well, but I think the brass wire brush would do less damage to a steel mold then the SS media. As I said you can use a cloth on some sort of dowel to get out that last little bit. Also, there are nylon bristle brushes out there.

Whatever you do, dont use the electrolysis method. This reminds me of having teenagers!
Well I for one did rig an electrolysis setup, and a big thank you, to you guys for pointing me in that direction, I had a couple of improperly stored molds that needed a light rust removal, and it works great !!
Now I'm looking around the shop for some other things to de-rust

I'll admit that mold does look really rough.
He took them on trade for a really good deal. It wasn't till he got home he realized how bad a shape they were in. That was a couple year's ago, they've been in oil since then.
He told me about them and I thought I'd try it out. He had nothing to loose. I'm tumbling for 12 hour's then onto the wood pellet stove to dry off and heat up then into an oil bath.
I'm doing this as a favour, so time will tell.
I'm leaving a little bit for him to do, but the bulk of the work is done.
He has 5 mold's,and that's the worse one.
