Klee

Huge thank you to @no3Ljm for the MB 00Q! Excellent communication and kept me updated through the whole process, and the packaging is superb.

Hey all looking for this guy, let me know if you have one you want to part with. Thanks!

Tried the baking soda mix didn’t remove the yellowing, the vinegar and paint thinner also didn’t work but I noticed the plastic is actually cracked right down the middle I may just leave it at this point. 
 

Has anyone seen the Zhongtian MB Exia R3 on GMC? Contemplating on picking it up but the base says “GONOnM EXIA” 🤨. Users on bilibili says it uses the MC mold.

This will be similar to those headlights on cars getting yellowed .  

you can try to make a paste with baking soda and water and then rub it all over it to removed the yellow top layer..

can also try these:

baking soda tooth pasta.

blue magic aluminum polish compound   (or other polishing compound)

pretty much you are just removing the top yellow layer from the clear plastic

 

maybe try it on the small piece first . 

I'll give it a shot. Thanks 😀

Welcome, Klee! The coating has different names in different countries. In America, Pledge is a spray can furniture polish (SC Johnson company). I assume you're talking about the version that is a clear acrylic coating for floors - just making sure. It should dry crystal clear.

How are you applying it? Via airbrush? Brushing? Dipping? I've heard that it can yellow if the coat is much too thick. The orange peeling is also usually a sign that it is reacting to something else. Is the undercoating thoroughly dry? If using a brush, brushes never really come clean. There may be something still in the brush causing you problems.

Just throwing some ideas out there... - MT

Oops forgot to clarify it's the Pledge with future floor gloss formula. I'm airbrushing it at 15 PSI after cleaning my brush with paint thinner and it still causes the orange peel effect. I may have to take the whole thing apart and do a deep clean 🤔. Thanks

First of all, I know some folks thin it before application  but I shoot it straight from the bottle.

When you apply Future, you're better off applying a number of light coats than trying to do one heavy coat. When spraying straight try lowering the pressure below 15psi,( 15 is the max that I use with it ) and spray closer to the work.

Ah okay, I've been using 15 PSI and doing 1 coat. I'll try lowering it to 12 and doing multiple coats. Thanks.

Thanks  @OptionZero for a smooth transaction. The EVA is amazing, highly recommend.

😄

I just use this under my detolf's https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/vadholma-wine-shelf-brown-stained-ash-90374330/
Simple but does the job

That's exactly what I'm looking for. 

Anyone had success with pledge as a clear coat before decal and panel lining? It always comes out way too orange peeled texture for me, and the tutorials I've read says to spray it right out the bottle.

I'm using Safari on iOS and I can't send PMs. I can reply once I send the initial one on my computer, but can never send the first one.

Did you figure it out? I have the same issue

lol that explains it, I was trying to leave feedback for an item I bought

Didn't expect a Xenogears figure at all 😯. Gonna PO it.

Started watching D_cide Traumerei, not really hooked enough to continue after the 2nd ep.

Trying to finish my IBO MRS collection, but the prices for a second hand Vidar is just ridiculous. I paid 300 for a used lupus rex and honestly it was not worth anywhere near that with the loose joints. 

Not sure how to feel about this one, but it can't be worse than the JL batman.

probably should take a photo, it would be easier to see what part and how yellow you are talking about.

Oops. Here are the parts.

looks dope

Anyone know how to remove some of the yellowing on clear plastics in KO kits? I bought a "like new" MC 00 raiser from eBay and the clear parts to hold the weapons are very yellow. I read retrobrite worked but I'm not sure how the plastic will tolerate the h2o2.
