And they played on the dock a while and everything was fine. Then they jumped in the water. And when they went to climb back up, there were THOUSANDS of venomous spiders underneath the dock and all over the ladder. If the counselors had just told them WHY, no kid would've gone near it.

Yes exactly the sun is free to use.🙂

I have a Retrobright box setup with 12% Hydrogenperoxide and UV light installed in a plastic box that has its insides coated with reflective foil (to spread the UV light even more). That also seems to work very nicely to remove yellowing from items (especially old white 80's toys that did not use UV-resistant plastics like nowadays). Ofcourse the downside is that the items you've cleaned are still made of non-UV-resistant material and would likely yellow again over time. Additionally the process may make the item more brittle; especially with repeated use. Then again, a nice white toy M.A.S.K. car or Starcom Starmax looks much better than a yellowed version imo. 🙂

Tried with some clear plastic covers over lamps that illuminate the license plate, that turned yellow. Did not work. But it did work on other yellowed stuff, just not transparent plastics. The clear plastic was not yellowed because of heat from the bulb, as a small part that is covered by a gasket from sunlight was not yellowed at all, while being exposed from the inside to the heat and light of the lamp as the rest. So not all clear plastic can be restored.

Not sure, may or may not work. 🙂

Rubbing alcohol does this, as well as getting rid of the stickyness of discoloured plastics, without needing toxic protection. Just cleaned up the yellowed and sticky areas of an old electtric knife we rarely used, left in a kitchen drawer. You have to rub it off with a littie elbow grease but it's not going to harm you. Stronger strength % alcohol than the usual that they sell in pharmacies works better too.

@@endurofan9854 Denatured has nothing to do with the strength. Denatured means that a toxic chemical was added so you can't drink the alcohol. The strength is indicated on the bottle as % alcohol compared to the % of water added to the pure alcohol.

I"ve always found it much more difficult to clean when using alcohol. If I just stick with beer it's better, though, otherwise I just start watching the telly... :)

Will it work on clear yellowed epoxy finishes

It should

I don't think the peroxide had much to do with it. I sell used washers and dryers and when the plastic or the paint has turned yellow on them, we put them in the sun for about 3 days (no chemical needed) and sometimes they turn back white and sometimes they don't... it's hit and miss. Also, if you are in a very hot state, I'm in Texas, make sure you put it in a place for it to get the light but not in a place where it will melt.

Sorry. But you’re wrong about the peroxide. I have white plastic item that apparently were yellowed from the sun and the peroxide plus sun can resolve it in a day or two.

Putting things in the sun use the same mecanisme than peroxyde. It's the oxidation that produce ozone that do the trick. Outdoor, you need to put humidity on the things for the uv rayon of the sun to separate the water. Try putting humid white linen spread on the grass. It will be far more white after some hours.

You just heated it up and slightly melted the plastic. That's not much different than using a heat gun.

Will this process work on yellowed silicone?

Possibly but I'm not sure.

Just use baking soda mix with some dish washing liquid. soak overnight.
