Yellowed Action Figure Treatment
« on: January 08, 2015, 08:14:03 AM »
I have an action figure who's white outfit has started yellowing. I heard that this can be restored with some hydrogen peroxide. My question is if I can simply put the whole figure in it. Does it only affect the yellowed parts or will it also affect some painted pieces like the face?

I also readed about applying it with a brush on the yellowed part. Does somebody have more info on how to apply it and how many? And how to store it during the process?
I would like to see some before and after samples! :D

Hope anyone can help. I already readed more about it here: http://www.mlppreservationproject.com/accessories.html but I wanted to inform more first.  :)

Im not sure--haven't tried to restore hard plastic pieces back to white before.  Id suggest sun fading--but that's how they probably turned yellow to begin with.

I'm going to leave this link to the ongoing yellowing thread on TFW2005. You should read through the whole thing before trying anything on your own items.
