Bending plastic screens
« on: August 07, 2010, 10:31:41 am »
Failure! Using Aga heated bath water is not hot enough to bend the plastic used in Microcar sunvisors. Bubble bath did not help either.
Warming screens removes the blue tinge that the material gets making the screen clear again. Does nothing for stress cracks or brittleness but it does revive screens enough to warrent polishing them up for re-use over buying new.
