Apologies if this has already been posted over here (had a look and couldn't see a thread) but I saw this thread over on TFW2005 and was so amazed I thought I'd try to share this discovery more widely:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers...might-help.html and the original source: http://www.thetf.net/forum_posts-TID-13204-PN-1.htm Looks like the entire action figure collecting world owes a big debt to Catilla and his mate for solving one of the biggest problems in the hobby. The newly white Fortress Maximus is particularly impressive. Not sure I'd want to muck about with such strong hydrogen peroxide myself, but still - wow!

I just checked the VF-1S I did about 18 months ago and it's fine, no sign of yellowed plastic returning.
FTR I used 35% H2O2, undiluted. -------------------- |
