>>8931837Thanks but it is still really hard to tell with this piece specifically. I can imagine the connection being firm even without the stud going in all the way but no way to be certain. For now I use a pin like you suggested.
>>8932140UV rays are the biggest factor. I did the h2o2 treatment with random old parts but they are much worse off than before. Just 2 months after the procedure they yellowed again despite returning to the sunlight-free room I keep them in. I guess the % was not enough but it was like 20 or 15%. Too high and plastic becomes brittle, which is also an issue of parts aging, wonder what to do about that except glueing lol. But really, it gets on my nerves how 80% of my droid arms break after a year of normal connection with bars unless it is with parts from the same set.
Had better whitening results with a spray bottle for making hair blonde, includes h2o2 but no idea what exactly is in it or how much. Stored that one test Stormtrooper away in the dark since 2018 and it is still white. But I need to do some more testing to be really sure, don't want to ruin my OGs any more than they are already.
