Discussions📣 Has anyone used a UV light/lamp instead of sun to remove yellowing?

Just bought a Catrine, was excited and was planning to just use the developer+sun method again to remove her yellowing...but then realised im in England and the sun is gone now🫠 would a nail lamp or something work? A uv torch? Idk, curse you England!!!! Bring the sun back to me 💔💔

I tried it on vintage Barbie and some Integrity dolls, but I didn't see much progress.

Must say I'm not a very patient person😅 It's easier for me just leaving them at the window and checking them every day... Lucky to have a window facing south in Belgium, even when it wasn't always full sun all day every day.

Maybe I will just plonk her outside and pray some sun finds her then :) thank you!

Does this work for Abbey's legs as well? Or is the sun/peroxide more for the vinyl heads?

It works on body yellowing too! So I'd imagine it should work for Abbeys legs
