I am not sold on the retobrite method - it just seems
like it somehow
Nor am I...
damages the plastic. I think I would rather give
yellowed plastic
(which, for the stuff I collect, is not too much of an issue) a thin
overspray of latex paint - pretty harmless stuff.
Apart fro mthe appearance, is there any other effect driectly related to
the yellowing (i.e. is the yellowed plastic more fagile, and applying
retrobrite will reverse this)? Does painting over the top simply improve
the appearance, or will it help with the other effects too?
The point is that for mr the appearance is not too important (obviously I
am not going to deliberately yellow my plastic cases, but when they have
yellowed it doesn't bother me too much). But if the yellowing also
damages the plastic in some other way, and there's a way to halt/reverse
this, then that would be more interesting to me.
