What to study

Curiosity Gap

If you've restored cast iron, you've probably grabbed a sanding disc like this. Never Use This says it's the wrong choice, and Noah's disgusted face agrees. Yet the pan beside it looks shiny and clean, so what's wrong, and what should you use?

How the packaging works
Title

'Most People' includes the viewer without accusing them directly, and '(Here's Why)' promises a reason, not just a rule, which careful restorers want.

The red disc against Noah's blue plaid shirt pops at feed size, and the silver pan beside it looks like a good result, which makes the warning more puzzling.

Remix this

When the common tool looks like it works, show it next to a result that looks fine and point at the tool with a blunt warning. The gap between a decent result and the warning is what makes viewers click.
