1. A stripping corner comprising:
a first forward surface;
a second forward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface;
a first rearward surface, hingedly connected to the first forward surface;
a second rearward surface hingedly connected to the second forward surface; and
an extender coupling the first rearward surface to the second rearward surface, the extender configured to receive an input torque about a first axis and configured to provide an output force along a second axis to both the first rearward surface and the second rearward surface, the first axis being substantially perpendicular to the second axis,
wherein the output force along the second axis causes a distance between the first rearward surface and the second rearward surface to vary relative to each other by moving both the first and second rearward surface from an initial position to a second position.
