Chemists wanted! π©βπ¬
Added 2019-04-23 21:50:48 +0000 UTCHello friends, are there any chemistry experts among you?
I'm having some challenges with the current project. In short, I'm trying to perfect a new no-mess no-streak retrobrighting technique that I'm calling Airbrighting.
It's basically a big bag version of the ozone method you may have seen in forums and a 9-Bit Guy video. (The extra bit is for parity.)
He filled a tiny bag with ozone, placed it in the sun with a Keycap in, and 4 hours later it was de-yellowed.
The challenge is moving this to a large scale where you can do an entire computer just using 'air'. Currently I am using a vacuum seal bag, removing as much of the air from it, then pumping in ozone, and heating the air inside using a hairdryer, to catalyze things.
I've also tried UV, although that can destroy ozone. But each way, no results at all.
I'd love to figure out why it's not working and finish this week's video on a high. Hopefully not high from ozone gas. Can anyone offer any chemistry input?

Well, the point of the experiment is that I am searching for a method where you can retrobright *without* having to remove all the electronics. Though that may not be viable as you say. Stay tuned for the video!
