In case your pipes are brass plated and not solid brass, do not use sand paper. A fine steel wool should work fine. You don't want to remove the layer of brass plating.
People are so rude... Yes there are other ways, yes salt and household vinegar, but Jenna Sue’s way works too, no need to snipe at her. Thank you Jenna Sue, your cottage looks fun!
Great job, Jenna. Love the antique yet contemporary aged patina of the brass. Cheers, Ardith
Jenna Sue. If you haven't already done so, please invest in a proper half mask respirator and specific filters for particulate and/or chemicals related to finishing/refinishing. Educate yourself about dealing with old building materials that often contain lead or asbestos. Thanks so much for your content :)
@William Sharman I'm great. doing a music session with a pal in TO :) we put playlists together and share them.
@William Sharman I'm being peaceful. And to this person, known as William, what's your story, and why the zone-in on me?
Dont waste your money - brass stripper is merely acetone and brass ager = use neat vinegar with 3 or 4 teaspoons of salt
Will vinegar remove the clear coat?
Did you watch? She didn’t strip/clean the brass. It was clear coated and she removed it.
Exactly what I have been trying to figure out how to do easily. Thank you!!

Vinegar and salt will age it fast or Miracle Grow both give it different patinas.
It's ironic how tastes change. My grandmother would want to change out her old patina-ed fixtures with brand new shiny brass or chrome plated stuff.
Instantly! 2 days later.......
Very nice. I’m getting ready to install a claw foot tub in my house. Suddenly I see all of that brass and I’m in a nightmare from my army days. Scrubbing Brass! 😱😩
Awesome! Thanks so much, Jenna!
looks great. But you really do want to wear a respirator doing most of that stuff.
Thank you for sharing.
you can wrap whatever you're trying to strip in plastic to keep the paint stripper from evaporating as quickly as it does.
Excellent Thanks so much!
Hey Jenna! I've been searching everywhere for how to patina polished chrome hardware...Do you know if it'd be the same process here?
BEAUTIFUL
Its great to have all this time
"Instantly" after 6 hours of concentrated hand work.
She had to remove the lacquer I assume. There are less expensive ways to do that, by the way.
The change is virtually instantaneous, but there are more environmentally friendly and less expensive ways to do this for people who don’t have the attention span and patience of a gnat.
I’m don’t really understand current trends. Why are people aging brass instead of shining it? I like shiny brass.
Would this work with a PVD finish already applied?
not acetone to remove the lacquer???
Why music?
This video is awesome. I just need to find an affordable source of real brass hardware. Ironically most fixtures are brass underneath various platings but I can never tell if it will be easy to get it off.
I've found a few pieces at our local resell/thrift stores.
Did you keep the brass mirror that was hanging above the sink? That's a beautiful piece but maybe not the cottage style you're looking for.
Amazing exactly what I hope to achieve although any advice on what product to use in the uk? As can't get hold of this one :(
Now you can do this once a month
Been trying to figure out either brass or brushed nickel for doorknobs and hinges
I have no idea whats in fashion
Anyone out there for help
Brushed nickel is appeals to the most people. Aged brass, not polished, is coming back in style but some don't like it. Probably because they are too familiar with getting rid of their brass stuff for silver.

Thanks was thinking brushed nickel
don't follow trends like a sheep. choose what looks right for you and match with your existing decor. i got great results using second hand materials. i recently used black nickel handles for my kitchen cupboards on african teak doors, because they were the cheapest at the hardware store. i can now see they were a much better option than the brushed nickel or stainless steel look door handles.

I used brushed nickel also for pulls and light fixtures
Slowly changing things
Thanks
Wow amazing. Id never guess that there are products online for pretty much anything and all u have to do is read the instructions. The title should be not how to do but how I do it. And thats no big help here.if u want something cheaper and faster then dillute muriatic acid with water add hydrogen peroxide and actually watch the process taking place right in front of you, thus controling exact amount of patina you're aming for.
Anyone know where to get affordable real brass fixtures?

Try some older hardware stores
Nyc has some old hardware stores that have stuff like that but not cheap
Try some architecture salvage yards
They might have or be able to steer u in a direction
You should really be wearing a dust mask at minimum when sanding that old furniture. Even bare wood is bad but the chemicals in the old laquers, varnish, and paints they used to use? Yikes!
Far from instant
Please wear a mask or respirator while sanding etc. I was almost choking just watching you!
I was tricked to watch by the word “instantly”.
How to work harder not smarter. 😂
can you shoutout me pls
ME
'' Instantly '' lmao.. '' After 30 min... , took me 1 hour..., after 6 hours.. Leave it overnight...'' Etc. Girl! You can also do ur makeup instantly by throwing all ur cosmetics in ur face at once and spread all that shit with a mop lol.
