The REAL (and original) Retro-Bright Project

[kleenax]

Since I see from time to time, collectors kind of "bastardizing" this method in one form or another (myself included) and coming up with mixed results, I thought that I would post this link so that anyone that is interested in duplicating the original method can do so.

Be sure to read the topic hot-links on the left of the page as well, such as these:
The Science Bit
About ABS Plastic
Flame Retardants
Atomic Bonds
Ultra Violet Energy
Hydrogen Peroxide
TAED
Using a Catalyst
Using Chlorine Bleach

I utilized this method 5 or 6 years ago with GREAT success on a Turquoise AE Spacemaker, successfully returning it to it's original color, but I cannot for the life of me find my photos! Just haven't gotten the time to try it again.

Either that Ray or it was really a Forget-Me-Not Blue AE spacesaver and the retrobright had absolutely no effect what so ever on it's discoloration leaving it Turquise looking! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
