Has anyone here retrobrigted an AEK II spacebar? How did it turn out? I'm thinking about retrobrighting mine, what would be the best solution to use?

Every key on the AEKs are PBT except for the spacebar. The spacebar is made of the same superyellowing abs you find on the case, or similar. ABS is easier to make spacebars and other large keys out of, PBT is hard to get right.

I put mine in a plastic bag and filled the bag with peroxide. I then put the bad in a pot of water and put it on the stove on low heat, checking on it often. I have a heated ultrasonic cleaner that I have also used instead of a stove top. It ended up looking pretty good.
