[sdiy] Cleaning yellowing plastic

[Adam Schabtach]

Hard to say about that photo. It could also just be that the photographer
doesn't know how to set the white balance on his camera. 

Personally I find it difficult to believe that you can bleach the yellowing
out of plastic, which is essentially what we're talking about here, no? But
there's a chemist on this list that should be able to tell us how well he'd
expect this to work...
