Hi,
Any comments on use of peroxide to freshen cases?
http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/
I thought many cases were RIM and were something other than ABS as
mentioned in link.

peroxide and the UV lamp (my eprom eraser will have a utility again eh eh
eh) the xanthar gun maybe I can find, but what about the oxy?

It's "oxiclean", not "oxyclean". The former is an oxygen-based
bleach, the latter, chlorine. The active ingredient in "Oxiclean" is
sodium percarbonate:

An EPROM eraser? What, the sun doesn't shine in Brazil? ;<)

As I said, the "Oxyclean" stuff is sodium hypochlorite with potassium
hydroxide (according to the MSDS). Not what you want to use on your
gear.
Interesting that the process involves a generated component,
peracetic acid, however. I use PAA (made with acetic acid, hydrogen
peroxide and sulfuric acid) to clean lead stains from silverplate. I
wonder if the raw stuff would work as a de-yellower instead of
depending on TAED?

Chuck

You cannot imagine how much.
I just moved, now I'm living some 150meters from the beach. I never been
in a place so hot. 40 degrees (celsius) all day long, the place is SO hot I
cannot stand staying outside the house (and the air conditioned) for much
time.

'ere, these gents dicuss in some detail their method of whitening and
brightening in the article called
"Open source computer polish: Retr0Brite"
Read all about it: Including more comments
http://www.boingboing.net/2009/03/02/open-source-computer.html
Excerpts:
The Retr0brite Project is an open-source effort to develop the world's
finest vintage computer polish, to whiten up the yellowing chassis of your
old Amigas and such.

?The problem was finally cracked in late July 2008 with a mixture of
hydrogen peroxide, a small amount of an ?Oxy? laundry booster as a catalyst
and a UV lamp. Proof of this concept was demonstrated on EAB by Tonyyeb
from Hull, UK, Chiark from Leeds, UK and myself.
