    Plastic Aging aka N CRS

    All plastics age. Aging is accelerated by heat, uv rays and environmental contaminants. Generally softer, less dense, pliable plastic ages faster than hard, dense, rigid plastics because of their structure. When clear, translucent or light plastic ages, it looses its clarity. This is commonly referred to as yellowing due to the appearance. On dark or Black plastic the discoloration is masked.

          such heat and fumes would probably convert a tan 63-4 to 65 up black ties.See you've taken your wise-crack pills this morning. mike

            fraid so Mike on the wise crack pill. I'm addicted to them and I can never seem to get enough. Beings you're a Doc, is their anyway you can write me a scrip for more? I'm about out already.

            Seriously though, (sic) about those tie wraps... after my suggested treatment, they may be darker than typical factory production for a 63 but I bet they smell like a rose garden after huggin your sweet cheeks for a day.

            Now, about that scrip.. please email ASAP.

            thanks,
            tc
