Peroxyding white MIP parts?

Quote

Post by Lonestar » Mon May 25, 2020 7:42 am

Hi Folks,

has anyone tried H2O2 on white MIP plastics? Do they react like AE's nylons, or more like RPM's?

I have some steering bellcranks that need a bit of TLC...

Thank you!
Paul

I think the mip bellcranks are probably ok. They are glass filled nylon. I'd probably do the simple green and healthy scrub first though.

Hi Joe

thanks for the info. I would have thought that they would sustain the H2O2 bath indeed, the material does look similar to AE for sure.

They have yellowed considerably. I will clean them first of course, but that won't be enough!

Thanks!

Paul

Yeah the set I have is darker than the associated parts. I kinda think that's how they were.

I'm sure this has been discussed before. What's the best way to get your old white plastic parts looking new again or at least better? I was thinking about a 90% water 10% bleach soak. Is this a bad idea? Also will putting the parts in semi boiling...

Thanks for the info on Super Clean. I went looking for some today, didn't find it. So I was going to get some Simple Green instead when I passed by the Soft Scrub products and found this....

So I did a quick soak and scrub on my rear end...

Has anyone any good tips on how to get original white parts clean and white again? Acetone and Bleach don't work! :shock:

Cheers,

i've used castrol super clean and had decent results getting parts clean, but once that white plastic gets that yellowish stain to it, its pretty much impossible to get WHITE again. i've tried bleach, softscrub, boiling them in bleach... nothing...

:idea: Is there any kind of grading system for the RC10 white parts. Like a 1-10 scale. 1 being the best. If not we should make one

Last post

don't forget the dyed or painted a putrid color category. :lol: :lol:
lightened ones, too. :wink:

Can regular rattle can auto or hobby spray paint be used to paint parts like the headlight backs silver? Or do you need water based paints?

I got a set of Jelly bean wheels that came to me painted silver that appears to be painted with rattle can...

I don't know if you've painted them yet, but I wanted to chime in with my 2 cents ...

... firstly, if you are set on painting the wheels, I would recommend soaking them in brake fluid first (which may actually remove the paint), or at least...

Sometimes the parts yellow under the best conditions. I've never used Aerospace 303 as UV protection, but it looks very interesting. At my job, there are a few standard practices we use when storing all our plastics. In addition to sunlight, keep...
