UV/sun damage reversal: Is this for real??

[PGowdy]

Is this for real? If so how's it done? Does it work with figures?
I thought plastic yellowing was unfixable.
:?

Amazing how the stickers happened to change too. :wink:

Probably using hydrogen peroxide to bleach the plastic back to white and then repro stickers and a bit of black paint. No one knows what will happen to the plastic once its been bleached though, it could remain the same or deteriorate even faster.

I see. Yeah he admits they are repro stickers but it was the sun damage reversal i was curious about. Hopefully at some point someone will post news on their success/failure with the bleaching technique.

Cheers.

"The colour restoration is achieved by the MJB solution© being applied and UV light used to cause a reaction and reverse the

UV damage. This MJB solution© is NOT corrosive and does NOT bleach the plastic." I presume this is similar to Retrobrite, it can work on some items. But it isn't a cure.

Bleach might work...but I think I can buy a gallon of bleach and do it myself cheaper. :wink:
