Hints for cleaning 1977 mail away figure stand?
- Thread starter Rimmer
- Start date
Soapy water on a cloth to start with, damp cloth/toothbrush so water doesn't go into the cogs etc.
If it's yellowing with the sun then that's a different matter mate.
Failing soapy water don't use any chemicals!
Good luck with it bud

Cheers mate!
I've tried with soapy water and brush but the yellowing remains :|
So no chemicals would do the job?

Some plastics react with chemicals can melt with Meths, turpentine etc so it's not worth the risk.
If the yellowing is due to ageing and General decomposition of the plastic due to light and heat, sadly it's just the way it is.
Personally I would just clean best you can and leave it as is, wouldn't put any cleaning/ chemicals. It's not worth the risk, and TBH, once you have the figures sat on there and the backing card in place, it certainly will detract from the yellowing mate.

Ok, I will leave it as is. As you say, it's a thing of beauty when the figures are on it and with the backing card.
Thanks for your help.
