Hey folks,

A few questions on the retrobrite process before I go headstrong into this:

1: I plan on using the gel mixture, but only because I don't want to chip/ruin the inside of my SE/30 case. Is the gel method more prone to the uneven cleaning? Is the submersion process superior in any way?

2: Will the mixture damage labels? I suppose I could cover them with plastic and painters tape... Should I remove apple logos, and if so what's the best way to ensure they'll go back on?

3: Does anyone know of instructions on how to disassemble the SE/30 to get the front panel off? I'm nervous about the CRT, and just ruining something in general.

4: Do the keyboard keys come off? I tried using a butter knife but they didn't pop off easily, so I left it be.

I've seen some answers about these regarding other models, but I just want to make sure before I chemically alter my lovely SE/30. Thank you! :b&w:
