Hi Klaas ;)
Gotta try that, but jeez, Jennifer's comments sure do depress.
I think the key is to keep ole mr. sun away.
My oldest lego is from 30 years ago and now pretty worn and scratched from
use.
But way back when, we were fussy about using 'bad' pieces and set them aside
(for my younger sister to play with, so as not to be annoying us, I have
been told recently)
The rest went back into their box and certainly they haven't discoloured too
much.
But I'll try ole mr dashboard-spray in the interests of science (and lifting
depression...)
Or buy some bulk and bury it in a black sack
BTW Klaas, I thought you inveigled TLC into selling you many tonnes of NEW
black beams !?
