To anyone that did this a decade ago:

- How brittle has your item become? Same as before or worse? (I doubt it'll get better)
- What method did you use? Soak, paint on, etc.

Photos for bonus points
From all the science I have read on this the yellow does come back all be it not
as bad, and the science and chemicals in the Retrobright ( Retr0bright )
process used apparently causes the plastic to turn brittle.

I see the yellowing as part pf the machines history, and it does not really worry
me too much, and the above is why I have never used the process.
