Anybody here has access or sells/makes retrobrite? I have an old Amiga A500 computer and want to "retrobrite" the housing. If you can process the housing for me, even better... If not, know anybody who sells hydrogen peroxide at 40% concentrate? I can only find up to 12% concentrate at hair shops.

I don't think you need 40%, with our UV, its will only take 1 hour or so.

12% work like a charm.

Sure, just be safe. CRT's is not something you take it lightly.
Learn all about discharging or get some pro to dismantle the monitor.

Might not qualify as monitor but close enough smile.gif
Just compare the front bezel vs the back.

The middle portion serves as a control for comparison.

A few years has passed since the last post but in case, anyone is still wondering, I just use hair saloon peroxide cream + sunlight.
