Yellow To White

[Floid]

Now would be a good time to try my borax theory, which, if nothing else, might remove any yellowness *induced* by the bleach.

Borax theory, normal version:  Take about two tablespoons of borax and a sponge soaked in warm water; scrub.

Borax theory, soaking version:  Heck if I know; mix up a good amount in hot water, and soak the plastic in it.  If nothing else, it might oxidize any 'bleach yellow' (as you can sometimes notice on your socks) to a 'pure white' tone.

Of course, others have said borax scrubs alone don't seem to counter the Amiga yellowing, because it was a defect *in* the plastic, instead of just the usual mix of atmospheric tars and oxidation on the surface.

I still want to try the bleach a few more times, then try the borax and/or acetone

:nervous:  ...  I'd find acetone quite likely to melt the whole thing... Though of course, melting it might expose clean plastic underneath, if you don't mind thumbprints and such permanently embossed in the case.  Still, could be a nonsoluble form of plastic... try with a Q-Tip on the interior first, if you dare.
