I'm happy with the results on an old RCA plastic radio from the 70's. Best use of peroxide since gold recovery.....

Cheers,
I was only planning on painting the chipped areas of the paint. Wasn't planning on painting the plastic stand. I do like the site you gave. I'm going to make the paste and test it on the back side of the stand and see how it works. If it works well, I'll make enough to cover the entire stand. And to think I was trying to figure out how to submerge the darn thing and how much that would cost. Glad to find a formula that makes a gel. Should cost about $40 to make.

Thanks!
