Apply Oil for Enhanced Finish

What happens here

Before reassembling the hardware, apply a small amount of oil (such as mineral oil or linseed oil, though specific type not mentioned) to a clean cloth and lightly rub it over the newly darkened brass pieces. This step helps to further enhance the finish, adding a subtle sheen and depth to the antique bronze appearance.

Goal: Apply a light coat of oil to the darkened brass to enhance its sheen and deepen the antique bronze finish.
