RetrObrite
« on: June 02, 2009, 05:11:40 AM »
How many of you guys have made/used Retr0brite? I got a few items that could use cleaning/brightening. Does anyone have any before/after examples?

OK! I'm going to whiten the front of my A4000 case.. I have a reallly bad Atari too.. previous owner smoked all over it, so i'm going to give it a nice bath.. as far as the keys are concerned.. what's the best way to brighten them? just lay them out in the sun with the paste applied? If that works well.. then I will attempt to whiten my Amiga keyboard :)

Hey Sandman.. I want to try the liquid.. i'm going to get a tray of some kind.. what is the ratios for the ingredients?

Do I just add a few liters of Hydrogen Peroxide and a tablespoon of Oxyclean for such a large batch?

TONE:

Did you use the oxy in there at least? If you didn't... the yellowing might come back!

I would probably use distilled water.. not just tap or purified drinking water as it still has minerals in it.
