Clean Lacquer Residue with Acetone

What happens here

After boiling, transfer the brass pieces to a safe area, preferably on a towel laid over a work surface. While wearing chemical-resistant gloves, use a Scotch-Brite pad saturated with Acetone to scrub off any remaining flaky lacquer residue. Ensure that all traces of the old lacquer are removed from every surface of the brass hardware.

Goal: Scrub the brass hardware with acetone and a Scotch-Brite pad to remove any lingering lacquer residue after boiling.
