I will also add that I have used many different types of clear coats. Testors dull cote, delta ceramcoat and others included.

I know many of us play at pizza shops, and other places, even our houses where we serve food. Chips, pizza, fries, and others things have oils and other things on them that if one isn't careful about handling the figures will get on the figure and any of that stuff will turn over time as it oxidizes.

Rule of thumb, ....... always have clean hands or some type of wet nap around if you are eating, and handle the figures by the base or platform, and I 'm pretty sure most of your yellowing problems will subside.

Store figures from Sun Light, ....
thanks another helpful hint!!
