Thanks for sharing that info ...

your comments got me wondering if sanding with progressivly smoother papers
followed by a wax job would be considered "apple" polishing?

:O)

if sanding removes the yellow then that might be an alternative to painting
it offwhite....

Gonna have to get my airbrush out next ....
