In Bridlington they drink pints of oven cleaner for breakfast, apparently it's a universal tonic.

Hmmm checking it this morning, is it usual the peroxide would have almost disappeared? Not too sure if its evaporated into the containers which would be good, or my seals on the container arent as tight as i thought...

Think it has lightened but there are still patches on one piece.

Am presuming doing this in a cold room wouldnt be good.

How much did you use? it may just be that the condensed peroxide is in the tub, give it a good 48hrs although it's a case of judging it by eye, another 24 can do the trick but after that you may find that stickers start to form crystals around the edges. If something is literally orange you may find that that is the best achievable. I had a Defiant crawler that was burnt down one side, even after a week there was still a yellow tint to it! This method works best on "Aged" yellowing rather than sun tanned plastic.

I have had a tub in the garden for 2 days with some white missiles in, they came up a treat in the current climate.

Huge success! Was in from Sat lunch time until this evening and the main body of the flagg has come up a treat. JUst need to do the same with the upper layers now and itll be ready for customisation!

Thanks a bunch for your help.

Nice one, I did my Flagg middle of last year, on the whole it's stayed a good colour, there were several small yellow areas, what I would describe as a "cigarette mark" type patch that have returned to a degree. I was thinking of using t-cut scratch remover as I've also had a degree of success with that too. Only works on flat areas though.
