Hydrogen Retrobright Experiment

Testing if it's possible to retrobright plastic using hydrogen. Mr Gigabyte's "Retrobrite Gigsplained":    • Retrobrite Gigsplained   Jeff Birt's "The truth about Retr0brite":    • The truth about Retr0brite – busting myths...   After watching a video about retrobright (link above) I got the idea that maybe you could retrobright plastic using hydrogen gas. This is my attempt to test hydrogen gas (in water) as a method of retrobrighting plastic.

The polypropylene containers must be transparent to UV. The magnesium tablet solution probably blocked the UV so no sun-brightening happened there. Any number of other factors, including the keys themselves, may have made hydrogen peroxide reaction slower than I was expecting.
