Thanks for the link Abel, that's some good information!

I liked that some of them created those pages and described the
chemical process in more detail.

Thinking about the Gel stuff, I think for now I'll stick with the low-
fi method I'm doing.
But I did buy a clear plastic container today to help the parts get
more sunlight; one is about 7 inches deep for the smaller stuff and
the other should fit a case sideways.

Seems to be working well, with none of the side affects listed on
those pages.
And nothing complicated either, just some bottles of Hydrogen
Peroxide, water and some scoops of Oxyclean.
Doesn't get much easier or cheaper than that.

But the hard part I fear is going to be removing the CRT and stuff
from the front of the Mac Plus/SE units and finding a safe place to
hold that while I de-yellow the front.
