You can get stainless steel mesh scrubbers at any sporting goods store (REI, Big 5.) Occasionally I see them at various grocery stores also.

actually you can just but a stainless steel or copper "scrubbie" at your local 99 cent or housewares store

How about your local Lowes, Home Depot, etc? Either Screen door material or dry wall patch should work.

Anyone know where to get either wire mesh or curly wire mesh pads like those

Amway has had a stainless steel mesh pad for sale for at least a decade called, "Scrub Bud". I have been using one (and only one) for about 4 years to clean my launch rods after use. I also put a couple of drops of oil on it to keep the rust away. Works very well.

Maybe I'm nit pickin, but if its' true stainless steel, it shouldn't rust. That's if I understood you right.

No they don't. The mesh is too fine for baffle use, and will burn. Which will burn your rocket.
Use ONLY coarse stainless steel wool designed for scrubbing pots. It can be found in the grocery store, usually in the aisle with mops and other cleaning supplies (as opposed to the soap aisle where things like Brillo pads are usually stocked).
The ones I got many years ago were from a commercial kitchen supply place. Much larger than the pads sold inthe grocery stores. I bought a case of a dozen for household use back 20+ years ago, and am still using them. I even have some left that haven't been opened. If I can find them again.

I just got back into rockets after a ten year break...
The other day I was walking through my local 99cent Only store and saw the pot scrubbers... Aerotech baffles was the first thing I thought of! There were several to a pack!

That's where they get them.

you'll find those 99 cent pot scrubbers tend to disintergrate when in contact with ejection residue
I have moved to labrynith baffles so I cannot comment about quality scrubbers
