STORM SHADOW: BEFORE |
STORM SHADOW: BEFORE |
As you can see my Storm Shadow figure has some yellowing from the chest area. It really annoyed me for the longest time so I decided to try hydrogen peroxide to see if I could turn it white again.
I headed to my closest dollar store to get some hydrogen peroxide. I was really excited to see the end results but I knew it may take awhile.
3% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE |
I tried a bowl first was a little too big. |
I started this project late in November so there was not too much sunlight. So i think the UV index was not too high also. Thought why not give it a shot.
FIRST DAY
This Jar seems to work better |
The sun was not out too much in the Winter so I had to watch the sun for awhile and where is was shinning around my house.
Yup all different places around my house. Always looking around for the best spots for more sun.
DAYS LATER
Work Window |
I needed more sun and time and I work full time I could not monitor Storm Shadow all the time so I brought him to work. ( Yup I'm a dork! )
Still not enough Sun! |
8hrs |
Around this time Storm Shadow was showing some improvement but very slow. I just hoped the hydrogen peroxide would ruin my figure.
CHISTMAS
Christmas Time |
At this point I was getting a little doubtful. Storm Shadow was showing only little improvement. At times I was even wondering if the hydrogen peroxide was working at all.

More time in the hydrogen peroxide. It looked like the Cobra emblem was disappearing. So I guess it must be working. Yup I guess winter sucks for trying this out.
Yup Just a little lighter |
Yup Summer |

I got desperate I was not really home too much to carry out the experiment. So I tried a UV light.
Bubble Means its Working Right? |
MARCH 2017
I decided to stop the experiment. The Cobra Emblem looked like it was starting to fade also his Arashikage tattoo was starting to look faded or etching out.
I think the colour whitened just a tad but better than it was before. What do you think?

oh you need to get a higher % peroxide , you have 3%there but you need to go for 10% or higher.You can go to the beauty supply places and get it or even get a mix to make a paste that will make it a lot whiter.
ReplyDeleteoh and with the higher % you should see change in days not months lol
ReplyDeleteYeah I guess this was a fail for me😱. I'll try 10% hydrogen perioxide on my next test figure 😁🍾
