RF lens “Yellowing”

[DeathProof]

Hey Hunters,

I’m in the process of making some upgrades and noticed that my rangefinder lens, which was initially clear, has turned yellow - likely due to UV.

My costume is almost 7 years old, so I was expecting some wear and tear. Just curious if anyone has been able to reverse this process or if I need to grab a new one. It would need to fit the Fettpride stalk.

It sounds silly but maybe see if you can remove it and let it sit in the bright sun? I remember using this trick to "sun bleach" old model kit decals and it worked to get the yellowing out. Idk if the same principle would apply

Very common occurrence with resin and exposure to UV light.

hydrogen peroxide bath in direct sunlight. The higher the concentration of H2O2, the more effective.

I still want to try the hydrogen peroxide bath with sunlight, but as I’m in a pretty rainy part of the world, and days are short, I might not see the sun for some time…..*cries*

So, I ended up casting my own, along with putting the LEDs directly into the casting. This saved on space, and I was able to wire all of them up together easily.
