@@_Clivey they went to the pub that evening so I sneaked out a video.

... and you just worked this out now??

Thanks! I do like quick impression. Also, stuff Mr Butler... no sense of humour.

Hahah. I need to up my game now.

I am innocent.

I have zero clue what you mean?

Yeah BABAAAAY YEEEAH!!!!!

That is definitely useful! Thank you so much for all the tips and taking the time to share them with me. It means a lot.

Glad you liked it! I was trying to show the more sensual side of bleaching plastics.

This comment is more carry on that my entire video. 10/10

Put yer pants back on and no one will see them anyway.

I didn't know what would happen to be honest. I might try with just the sun lamp on something and see what happens without the cream.

Got some gloves today. Black ones. They are going to look really sinister in a video! Thanks for the info on your process. Really helpful.

I have some on order.

Resistance is fertile

You could make me fertile. Etc etc.

Nothing wrong with a dirty look 👀

Dave Compton at Farnborough they have a reuse shop!

Mat Recardo I was feeling lazy, truth be told.

Is your setup faster?

@@MarkFixesStuff I live in Lanzarote and we have sun all of the year ;)

BTW I've just (right now) used your video to fix the audio problems of my Spectrum +3. Thanks.

For appearance or for any other reason?

Yeah... I really want to do that. I need to find something yellowed that I don't care about or I won't get lynched for ruining.

I'll reply to myself, because I know a thing or two about those sun lamps. You see, I'm one one of those people who['se skin] can't handle light, AT ALL, so my windows all have 99+% UV-A and -B filters on them, professionally installed, AND they block 70% visible light as well, but that's not enough, so I also have curtains everywhere, some of them completely light proof. I can go outside [on cold heavily overcast days for like 10 minutes at a time, in summer, and in [sun]light maybe 5 mins at a time], IF I wear double layered long clothing, leather gloves and a big hat, so it's safe to say I hate summer the most. It's an autoimmune disease, sad to say, so it's permanent in my case, but it's not contagious at all [a lot of people freak out when I mention that it's an autoimmune disease because they think AIDS !!!!! etc, so I have to mention that fact every time, oh well. Anyway, I used to have a Philips lamp kinda like this, but with a bulb of some kind, and modded [I had to take out a certain filter on the glass], and I'd have to turn it on remotely from about 8 to 10 metres away, expose my skin/body to it and turn around in a few seconds and switch it off again. This was to try and 'harden' my skin. Sadly it didn't work. Because it didn't work, I put the filters back in, and gave it away. Those people might still have it, and I could maybe send it to you? That or the Amiga stuff I have laying around, not sure what it all is, and it might not be what you want, but it's yours if you do want it. Also, I am quite hammered at the moment, so I might delete this later, but for now, the offer stands ! Love your channel mate.

Nah it really is as easy as it looks. And if you dont have a sunlamp, but do get genuine direct sunlight for a few hours a day, simply baste your case in the HP, wrap with clingfilm to stop it drying out in the air, and then put them out in your yard, on the roof, wherever gets the best sun for a few hours. When I did my classic gameboy it took me two days of decent sun, but thats UK sun so your mileage may vary... considerably! Try not to let the HP blob up too much though, try to get an even coat or it can lead to mottling. And if possible, get 12% lab or food grade HP over haircare products. That way you know you're getting good stuff that isnt going to bleach, then re-stain your plastics. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H2LT6VW/?coliid=I2GJALABW8USJ2&colid=14WF8MSV24IDV&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Phrea Nix love you too mate. Hold on to your stuff until your head is straight.

I could have sworn your self-reply wasnt here when I posted, or I wouldnt have suggested taking it outside...

Love gravy

It’s been in the cupboard for over ten years? I think I need to find the antivirus spray next!

Don’t really know. I have two like this though!

@@MarkFixesStuff Interesting. Commodore sourced their stuff from all over the place it seems.

Also, if any have a right-angle connector I think Neil needs one for an A1000.

ches74 nowhere else to put it down hahah

Richard Black great tip(s). I’ve ordered a new box of gloves. Where can I get this 303 stuff?

@@MarkFixesStuff Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B0185PU38A/?coliid=I2H6ZPU0N7NEMH&colid=2XI1MRMVRPGAA&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I don't know what you mean? :)

Daniel Son I only found it by accident halfway through the day when hunting for crisps.

@@MarkFixesStuff well all those hours of waiting paid off needing a snack helped you out in two ways 🙂

Didn’t want to mess up my workbench though and I have to wash the tub anyway.

Douglas Titchmarsh it is what you think it is. Cream.

@@MarkFixesStuff 🤮

Nukleon Ah I dunno. Just like saying hoover I guess

Could be nylon.

What's your source on that? Lots of old plastic is brittle, seems like some of these rumors are just confirmation bias.

Any idea how long it takes? I've seen posts that it can take as little a six months, but I cleaned my classic gameboy more than a year ago and it still looks factory fresh

@@Graytail Lots of people have retrobrighted stuff that still looks fine. Sounds like people didn't do a good enough job and let it re-yellow (retrobrite reverses yellowing but it doesn't prevent re-yellowing) and then had some plastic go brittle, which tons of old plastic is, like old C64 and Apple II cases for example.
