Ever wonder how I bring those yellowed retro consoles and controllers back to their original brilliance? Let me break it down for you:
Materials I Use:
- Hydrogen Peroxide Liquid (not gel or cream) for even, consistent whitening.
- A sealed container to maintain the right environment.
- UV lamps indoors to simulate sunlight and kickstart the whitening process.
How It Works:
I carefully submerge the yellowed parts in the hydrogen peroxide solution and place them in the sealed container. The UV lamps do the magic, activating the peroxide to remove discoloration. This process is gentle and ensures the plastic retains its original finish without damage.
Timeframe:
The treatment usually takes about 6 to 8 hours, depending on the level of yellowing. For more severe cases, I might extend it to ensure the best possible results.
With this method, your retro gear gets a fresh start while preserving its vintage charm. Have something that needs a glow-up? Let me handle it!
