I found one video.. This one it?I remember a youtube video somewhere about it. I'm always trying to go the other way, making a fresh new one look aged!
$9lb here... just confused as what is the activator? I would think it's water but have no experience with that acid....How much is that H3NSO3 acid?
Yellow snow might work.That's the one I remember...now can you find me one on how to yellow new plastic! LOL
Distilled water is best. You mix it with water, read the comments.

For those who are asking, sulfamic acid can be bought at a hardware big box store icrystal form. It's normally used to clean rust and grout and mortar haze. A 1lb. tub of sulfamic crystals is less than $8. All you do is follow the instructions and dissolve it in water. Plastic itself is non-reactive to acids; that's why containers for acid products are made of plastic (and it's cheaper than glass and won't shatter). Plastic is engineered to be fairly resistant to many solvents, so you're not going to run into trouble with it being chemically damaged unless you start using things like acetone or paint stripper.
I didn't hear him say anything at all on that video. Just rustling and moving noises. Kind of a sucky video to me. Maybe I missed something? Was he whispering?Think that's the one I tried. If you listen to his ingredients he leaves out one. Tried this didn't touch the yellow. Thanks the activator is missing.
Acids are mixed with water where the H and O are separated and the ions are released. H2 is in pretty much all acids. My chemistry might be a bit dated but I remember that. That's why you add the acid to the water and never the water into the acid, besides splashing, there can be a reaction as the acid disolves or nixes with the water.I did read that and knew about the water but he specifically says "activator" that is what was confusing...
Tap water could be the issue, the minerals in it react with the acid.I'm pretty it's there you'll have listen more than once. He says it in a off hand manner. Bought a pound of that acid, put 3 gallons tap water in a 5 gal. bucket. Sat 3 weeks stirring every few days. NOTHING. 3 cups of baking{slow pore) on a 8ft pole to neutralize acid.
Also, are you doing a coolant overflow or a windshield washer reservoir?I'm pretty it's there you'll have listen more than once. He says it in a off hand manner. Bought a pound of that acid, put 3 gallons tap water in a 5 gal. bucket. Sat 3 weeks stirring every few days. NOTHING. 3 cups of baking{slow pore) on a 8ft pole to neutralize acid.
Yes, that's the point I was getting at. I believe that acid is removing the metalic debris that collects in a surge tank, rather than age yellowing the plastic. Acid will react with metallic substances but not plastic.Windshield washer tank. The mixing with tap maybe a problem but zero difference? At 50/51 seconds in upper left corner as he's pouring from bottle it it says acid chemical formula then activator, what's that? What is it he sprays on before 50 seconds. If anyone does this make a video and list a precise process and exactly what ingredients with brand names.
If anyone get it to work I'd try again. I think yellowed washer bottle is way different than coolant bottle.
