New Twist on Plastic whitening agent on the cheap

[esteban]

I like my PCE hardware to have a patina*.

Obsessing over "whiteness" is making me uncomfortable. Sounds eerily similar to the thread concerning the fellow who etched logos into plexiglass.



* Be it yellowed plastic or a layer of residue from custard, flan and/or yogurt.

I have zero idea how you make that connection. i'm not looking for perfection either, but i prefer my stuff not to look like its covered in yellow tar.

Yellow tar! That's the perfect way to describe the patina on my electronics.


Seriously though, I was just trying to break the tension in this thread . I have found that mentioning flan/custard/yogurt in the same breath as ____________________ (insert controversial topic) can nurture some goodwill and tranquility. At the very least, it urges the combatants to take a break and grab a snack.

I remember when runinruder (hmmmmm...I think it was him) foolishly discounted the soundtrack to Dragon Spirit (PCE). I was so pissed off! Luckily, I grabbed a lassi (and onion bhaji) instead. I was too busy savoring my snacks to tell runin what a misguided twat of an imbecile he was--yes, I was prepared to use vulgar language. True story.

Also, I was trying to be cute (sorry) by putting this thread's trajectory in line with Godwin's Law.

I'll stop interfering now. I guess I was bored last night.

Turbo did not do his homework, and i was being alittle snippy, but nothing is out of control. He apologized to me for not doing alittle more legwork and  I apologized to him for being cranky. We worked it out just fine. I appreciate your effort to diffuse. I like a clean look on my console as do alot of people. Now that I know that Turbo is doing this for school research, I actually hope he has the time to mix and match alot of different formulas and help me figure this thing out. Help from others would be greatly appreciated as well. Being a parent of two kids and pets, i want something that is cheap, safe as possible, yet effective. I think we may be on to something here. I say we, as it will take a community effort to iron this thing down

yep all is good. 

As a side note, I've researched the mixture from the first post here, turns out it is suggested using for a safe toxic free skunk smell remover.

yup, thats were i got the idea from. i was watching mythbusters and they were trying to remove skunk smell. it occured to me though that the forumula might work for whitening as well as they use baking soda for teeth whitening.
