Brass Cornerguards – Part 3
2016.6.30
The cornerguards have a mirror polish, which I wanted to take down a few notches. I figured they have a protective lacquer coating, so I glommed on some stripping gel and let it sit overnight.

The next day, they looked like this. It took a lot of elbow grease to finally get all the crud removed and get back to a polish; but with the lacquer removed. At least, for all that scrubbing, I hope they were lacquered and I hope the stripper actually removed it.
Either way, I went after them with a sanding sponge to create a brushed look. Then I installed them with the screws provided.
The fit could be better in some places but pretty good overall.
