I finally finished up these shark Florsheim Imperial gunboats. "Finished" is a relative term, as I have dicked around with them for so long I can't even remember what I did to them. I think I should probably strip with acetone, but the welts are crumbling and look like **** and the sole stitching looks like it was done by a drunken frat boy who went through a "I'm gonna save the world by fixing everything" phase but eventually lost interest when Dave Matthews stopped touring. So, in other words, I'll probably just be polishing a turd.
Here are the turds in question.
