laserman Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Joe,Not just UV. Watch out for some cleaners also on this old plastic. When I use to own one, I recall using a cleaner on mine. When I applied it, the plastic started to smoke! I stopped that in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I applied it, the plastic started to smoke! I stopped that in a hurry.Good point. Over the last few years I've been using baby wipes on my plastics and they seem fine. Its gentle and so far no ill effects.Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laserman Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 9tobot9 you scare me. I have quite a few russian tin and plastic toys. I know some were made in Belarus in the last 15 years. Maybe I better send Winky with his radiation counter over and check them out :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
