Cue Ball turning yellowish.

[firemankc]

Anybody have a solution on getting the cueball back to it's WHITE color. Most of mine have turned off white to yellow.

Try a light bleach solution or a trip to the dishwasher. Both have worked for me

Put the CB under direct sunlight for a day.

Is it just your cue ball? If so, it does not match your set. I have 2 sets from the early 60's and all of them are the off white color. I like it. I think it gives them 'charater'. I'd be careful leaving it in the sunlight as you might get a streak unless U rotated it 'properly'. Good luck. PS If the cue ball does not match your set then maybe buying a new cue ball would solve your problem.

Your correct. You put them in a dark drawer for a while and they turn yellowish. Put them back out in the light and they begin to turn back to white. I had one that was really yellow and I just put it on the table and played with it. Over time it became white again. It's weird

Play with it for a while. That'll do it.

Set the microwave oven for two hours on high. If that doesn't work............oh well. :grin:

Good luck in Tunica, champ.

A coat of primer followed by some high gloss?

Joey, Your spelling is really suffering in your old age. You forgot to put a (U) instead of an (a) at the end. Correct spelling is "CHUMP" by the way the microwave blew up.

The solution to preventing the CB from turning cream colored is to put it in an oxygen free environment while you are not playing.

The white plastic slowly oxidizes to cream over time, and there is essentially nothing short of a vacuum or nitrogen chamber that will prevent it.
