I do appreciate flourescent tubes, but I might have to get a more
‘natural’ lighting method because the greys/bleys blend together in
flourescent lighting (at least for me anyway)

I have as yet to try Retr0brite but it’s been a plan for a while. Sooner or
later I’ll do it and let you know if it reverses the UV damage.

Hi Dave,
thanks for posting your LEGO-room here at Lugnet! I like that as a very
compact storage and building room. What happens with models? All in diplay
around your house? Another storage area for sets and MOCs?
|
If my MOCs aren’t on top of the shelving, then they’re in boxes for the next
show. No display room, and I realized a long time ago that they just get dusty
and broken on display (especially now with a 3 yr old around)

On topic of de-coloring:
UV-damages are done and can not be reversed, I guess.
But some of the tanning is in fact not a UV-cause. And I never heard that
“fluorescent tubes” cause stronger damage than other lights. Halogen lamps
send out harsh UV. That might be an issue.
On the other hand there is a common trick to whiten tanned (white) bricks:
put them (especially behind window panes) into the sunlight for a while.
They actually become pretty white again. If you disbelieve: try with a cheap
collection of old 1x2 bricks.... It actually works! Much better, safer and
milder than hydrogen peroxide containing detergents.

It’s not really a concern at this point--I have enuf, and sometimes I like the
off colour (i.e. Mike Shiel’s hockey arena), but I did want to try it. I’ll try
your idea above first, though.
| |
BTW: some chemical experts at 1000steine have claimed, that some volatile
contents of wood and brown cardboard lead to decolouring. So storing your
bricks in transparent plastic boxes (but in quite dark areas) is the best way
to go. So you did well on that.
Best Regards,
Ben

Love the vid, and not just because you have Scott Joplin playing in the
background ;)
Thanks Ben!
Have a good one
