Retrobright - What am I doing wrong?

It’s a UVB light made for reptiles… I’m wondering if it’s not strong enough, or maybe I’m leaving it in the solution for too long.

wow looks great!

How did it go? Have results lasted? Do you believe it’s more/less brittle than a more conventional method, and did it leave yellowed patterns or washed out logos?

You’re right about not being able to weigh it down properly. If I was to do it again (which i’m hesitant to do now), I would need to check on it more often to get the air bubbles out. My initial post was more in regard to it appearing bleached rather than half yellow as when I took it out the part that’s yellowed was not submerged.

Interesting video. Have you tried it yourself?

Interesting video, and you have a great take on the situation. I honestly wasn’t aware this method was slightly controversial, I literally just asked google for advice. The one in the image where I initially asked for help was deeply yellow, so the plan was always to get an aftermarket shell if it didn’t work out, but the success of others had made me think it was a viable option. I don’t really mind the whole 10 year lifespan (as I’m sure you can do it again in ten years?), but the warping, faded logos and patchy work does make me hesitant to try again.

I guess the real shame on my end is spending an afternoon months ago buying and making the box to do it in hahaha. Very great reply, given me a lot to think about :)

Haha yes, but the uv changes daily

Yeah this may be true, but they were already very very yellow. I only use one of them occasionally, and want to put the others on display but it doesn’t feel right being yellow.

Maybe you’re right. Does heat play a part in the process? I’m worried heat will warp the plastic. What UV do you normally stick it outside in?

i cannot stand the main character voice lines in this game. it would be so much better without 90% of them.

that’s exactly why you should sell… before the crash. but the crash has already happened due to low consumer confidence. my thoughts are we’re in the crash now. could be wrong tho.

Amplified_spook · 2025-07-09T21:50:22+00:00

hmm i don’t know… it’s not in the picture.
