before and after

Some before and after pics of yellow bodies treated with UV light and hydrogen peroxide.

 

Basically, you buy some hydrogen peroxide cream and use the strongest you can find. I purchased this vol. 40 at Sallys. Apply generously over the limbs or affected area, avoiding the hair and face. I covered the head with a hair net and then tissue paper over that. Lay the doll out in the sun so that they can absorb the UV light or under a black light like the photo, since black lights give off UV. Let sit for 5 hours, wipe off, reapply and repeat until necessary. When done, wash the doll and remove any residue with a magic eraser. The doll at the top had about 10 applications and took a few days, the doll under her only had a about 5 and was done in a weekend. Both were done inside with a UV light. The headless body had two applications and I left it outside for one day.

 

I found this on a video game forum! People were restoring yellowed SNES's and Dreamcasts. :-P
