I bet this would work gangbusters on yellowed coleco 2600 carts (and anything else in that color range,)

I'm shocked there is not one single "Retr0bright" video on youtube!

If someone were to post one I bet it would get a TON of hits! (hint, hint)

 

I would do it myself but:

 

A) I have no clue how to make it yet

B) My video skills are crap

[mimo]

What do you want to see in the video?

It takes longer than paint drying

I'd like to see a video on

 

A) How to make it

B) Applying it

C) Seeing the different setups people use (i.e. blacklight, sunlight, etc.)

 

I'm one of those people who need everything spelled out for them or else things wind up exploding. Just ask my 10th grade chemistry teacher... I blew up the lab and got sent to the hospital when I was stabbed in the back with a thermometer full of mercury. True story...

That's awesome, what did you blow it up with? And was the thermometer-stabbing part of that (thrown by an explosion) or a separate thing?

I might try this in the summer.

that is awesome. but what I really want to know is, why didn't it give you super powers?

We were doing an experiment when you charge 1 test tube mixed with water & base with a negative charge, the other postive or something to that effect. I was supposed to only put a small amount of base in the tube. I filled it to the top and kicked off the experiment. I turned my back for a second.... BOOM!

 

I remember the teacher calling my mother "Maam... please don't be alarmed, but your son was just stabbed in the back with a thermometer."

 

Good times

There is a video on Youtube, although I didn't make it. I will eventually get around to doing a video demonstration.
