Re: HP-97 Case Yellowing Message #9 Posted by Ronald on 3 Oct 2005, 4:53 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike DiGirolamo
Hi Mike,
I succesfully revert severely yellowed HP97 cases by leaving them for 1 to 2 days in a chlorine solution. Here in Holland we have something for cleaning your toilet based on chlorine (called Glorix Bleek, dikste ooit). The stuff is quit a thick fluid substance (high viscosity) if you know what I mean.
I put 1 1/2 liter (3 bottles) in a stainless steel pan and let it soak.
After 1 day it lookes likes original and has a very "clean smell".
As far as I have seen no impact on structure etc. of the plastic itself.
I do not heat the solution to speed up the proces, for I am afraid the plastic will deform otherwise.
With this there is no need anymore to use abbrasive polish etc.
Succes and let me know how it worked for you.
Ronald
