    Yeah... admittedly I just don't have the patience/inclination (and probably lack of skill) to disassemble Fort Max like you guys did. I recently went to liegeprime's place and he showed me how he'd managed to de-yellow some toys by applying H2O2 with cotton tips. I certainly haven't noticed any immediate results... if there have been any results it's been slow coming. I'm just testing it on one part atm, the right upper leg, see how that goes.

    So I started yesterday evening and then applied some more this evening, and here's what it looks like so far...

    I've only applied H2O2 on the right upper leg, the left one hasn't had any applied at all... it looks like it's starting to get whiter.

    Certainly lighter, just watch out for the powdery surface after effect I mentioned.

    As I told you... apply it and wait for a few days for the effect, mine took like a week. What I did was after 2 days (the applied creme wouldve become semi dry by then) I would wipe off the first applied creme with a wet rag then re apply some more creme then wait 2 more days and do the same. Dont just keep adding creme coz it's be like applying more creme on the creme not on the plastic itself.

    Would it be possible to use teeth whitening paste? It seem to use the same active ingredients. Just curious as I would probably be more comfortable with this than giving a vintage toy a H2O2 bath.

    It prolly would since it is using H2O2 as well but no one has tested it.. Does it contain nothing else though? Coz there might be other ingredients mixed I that might corrode the plastic.

    I have bathed so many Jetfires in H2O2, gotta love that stuff.
