Retr0brite???

2014-03-16 Thread Peter Hall
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had experiences using retr0brite on any cases here, I want to clean up my IIgs, IIci, an SE, and various mice and kb's but I don't want to kill the cases in the process. Just wondering if anyone has tried and what their experiences were. Peter J Hall

Understand there's yellowing, then there's browning. Fantastic removes browning very well. Did on my Lisa. In fact if you scrub long enough the yellowing will come off (with a rough shop cloth say). A lot of it anyway. Doesn't hurt to try. -- -- - You received this message because you

Has anyone tried putting something in the container to fill the cavity with dummy material to save space? It is good to know a gallon of developer can be diluted that much though. On Sun, Mar 16, 2014 at 11:17 AM, Dylan McDermond dy...@mcdermond.netwrote: On Mar 16, 2014, at 10:38 AM,

The dunk method is what I'd recommend if you have a LOT of stuff to cover. You can also get UV lamps and toss the whole shebang in your garage overnight. Here's an even easier method: 1.) Get a spray bottle, 1L size. 2.) Get some Oxy-product. I went to a laundromat and paid 75c for a small

What about just carefully draping the item with old cloth and soaking that. Resoak as needed? -- On Sun, Mar 16, 2014 12:34 PM PDT Jordan Utolia wrote: The dunk method is what I'd recommend if you have a LOT of stuff to cover. You can also get UV lamps and toss

I've heard that spray bottles and soaked cloths can both be tough to get even coatings on the unit. Also, it's easy to miss corners and parts of bezels. Best results I've heard of are nearly always related to dunking methods, even if only 1 surface at a time is dunked and allowed to cure. Time

About two hours per side. It really was quite easy. Bring sun glasses -- you'll need them. Now that I think about it, that pressurized pesticide idea is the way I'd do it next. On Sunday, March 16, 2014 1:51:56 PM UTC-6, jWs wrote: How much time were you sitting there spraying your
