Thread: Cleaning Clear celluloid

My new project has clear celluloid scales that are a bit frosty and in need of a good cleaning.

I was thinking of giving them a bath in a mild acid (white vinegar) overnight.

Is that the way to go or is another path preferable?

Pauly,

There is some blurb on cleaning celluloid in this post:

Have fun !

Best regards

Thanks Phatman.

I used Nevr Dull and it was the bomb.

No pictures yet as I have a bit more cleanup work to do but the scales have gone from smoky to mostly clear.

Only problem is now that they're transparent again I see more jobs to do, like how on earth do I clean tarnish off the back of the silver bolsters ...
