		Re: Help!....any advice on stopping the yellowing of older white lego pieces?
How long did you soak them for? I let my yellowed parts soak for several weeks. You may also want to try increasing the bleach/water ratio. I use a dilute solution for a long time; this has whitened parts for me that were 20 or more years old, and (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Crashing your Lego creation safely...
(...) This IS the solution. Replace the SEALs with Timmy's and Jar Jar's and let them experience the pains of hitting the tarmack at over 200 mph the uh-60 c. problem.... I don't have my Timmy or Jar Jar's. I burned them for heat all when i got (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

		Restoring old white and grey parts
I bought a large collection of lego from someone, including some quite old stuff. Unfortunately, almost all the older white pieces have started to go brown, and the grey are slightly yellowy. The blue are also slightly discouloured but not too bad. (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Ageing Lego Bricks
Gary, I don't think that is the problem, because I started to play with LEGO in 1976 and I was living in Holland. So I am pretty sure that all my bricks are ABS. I suspect that even keeping ABS at room temperature the bricks change slightly over the (...) (23 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Un-yellow old plastic - will it work on LEGO?
(...) ... Yes. I tried this last week and the results were very good. Take a look at this (URL) post>. The picture shows the results before and after a exposure of only 2 hours in the sun. We are having a heat wave here in Brazil and I was afraid of (...) (15 years ago, 9-Mar-09, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

		why parts yellow (was Re: Sopwith Camel pictures)
Frank Filz showed me a brick out of a sealed set from the 70's that had yellowed in the box, once opened over twenty years later. The box may have been near or in a store window, so it may have gotten UV through the box, but the parts in the same (...) (23 years ago, 30-May-01, to lugnet.general)

		In Praise of Brasso (was: Cool Score -- "Vintage" LEGO!)
(...) Brasso, indeed! I bought a tin of Brasso last night at Wal*Mart for under $3 and tried it out. It easily removed the black magic marker (except where the ink had been worked into cracks, scratches, and tooth marks) in less than a minute per (...) (24 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: I Just Don't See It
(...) I have to agree. If you are looking at new brick from around the same time period, then I think LEGO tends to have a very high color consistency. (...) I can't speak for anyone else, but something to came to mind when looking at the discussion (...) (20 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.general)

		RE: Cleaning used Lego
I use the same method using a 5 gallon bucket. 1. 1-2 scoops (I use Electro sol DW crystals) in ~3 gallons of warm water. Mix thoroughly. 2. Add 2-3 gallons of LEGO, (after proper sorting of course) no more, or you will not have enough "stirring (...) (23 years ago, 28-Oct-01, to lugnet.general)
