Restoring yellowed parts
This summer I have been restoring a lot of bricks to their proper white state.
I've been using the Hydrogen Peroxide method. Dunk your parts in a clear container with some hydrogen peroxide (I've been using a 3% solution I can easily acquire at the store) leave it outside in the sun for about 7-8 hours a day in the sunlight. And presto! I've gotten results like the one pictured above in just a single day. But I've also had some parts that have been out in several days, and are still noticeably somewhat yellowed, but still improved. Some parts are a lot cause, but overall, I'm having a great success rate.
For those wondering, prints are completely unaffected. Stickers, now that's a bit different. The one pictured above is the clear type of sticker, and seems to have faired quite well. When stickers are not clear, but the white kind, they mostly survive, but looks a little bit wrinkled, or cracked. Though honestly, they are still pretty serviceable.
