Kudos to Reclaimed Home: Boiling Hardware to Perfection
by brooklynmodern | October 9th, 2009
I have to thank Reclaimed Home for helping me restore the vintage light switch in my new apartment. It was caked with multiple layers of paint. I boiled it for about twenty minutes in water and baking soda. Paint slid right off and I didn’t have to use carcinogenic stripper with a gas mask. Here are the directions from Reclaimed Home: Boiling Hardware.
It looks beautiful! Glad to be of help. I can’t take credit for the process….just passing along the info.
