    Possible. I can give that a shot next week. Just as long as I put a thick coat all over, doesn't have to be perfect, just as long as it all will be well covered.

    Yeah, I just thought that if you were able to spray it on, that it would give you a more even and consistent spread than having to try and do it with a paint brush - Fingers crossed for you anyway man.

    Good thought, but I think the liquid seems to have an adverse effect on the 87 Targetmasters, but the cream seems to work well. Maybe I could pick up a stronger cream, pretty sure I saw one that was stronger.

    That Weirdwolf looks fantastic!

    Looks like we may have a proven solution for 1987 yellowed toys! To be sure, it would be good if we could do something like a Slugslinger who is very prone to yellowing and highly negative reacting when it comes to liquid H2O2.

    That's where the foot and blue parts I have been working on have come from.

    The blue is somewhat darker than the normal blue, and the grey is still slightly yellowed. They need another treatment to see if I can get them closer to perfect. But so far so good. I haven't taken an shots of the next phase of treatment yet. I will be doing more this weekend.
