Title: Fixing yellowed plastic
Post by: aspbear on July 23, 2012, 05:12:44 pm
Some of you may already know this but I thought I would post it for everyone.  I was at a yard sale with my wife and they had an old coleman cooler that was in sad shape busted corners, faded paint and yellowed plastic but they only wanted a dollar so I thought I would give it a try.  I got everything fixed back and was looking on the internet for a method to help with the yellowed plastic.  I found the following formula and it really worked well.  I tried to post pictures but had no luck, but it really turned the plastic liner back to white.

The formula is  for every gallon of hot water add 1 scoop of oxy boost (no bleach and just the scoop that comes in the container and 2 ounces of hydrogen peroxide submerge the items and sit the container in the sun for 5 to 6 hours I was amazed at the results. Sorry about no pictures just not real good with computers...
